Re: How to take photos with blurred background.

What you need to know about is depth of field. The distance that is in focus. The more open the lens aperture is the shorter the depth of field . Which is what you want. The f. stops on the lens govern that. Say if you are using a lens which ranges from 1.8 to 22, 1.8 is when the aperture is at its widest. Of course you would have to adjust your speed to compensate.

On automatic cameras you will be able to set aperture priority and the speed will be automatically adjusted. Good luck

I highly recommend reading your manual.

Here are a few beginner tips - How to Obtain Maximum Bokeh

my favorite lens is the 85 1.8 and it's only $350, is very fast and produces excellent bokeh. Also I recommend having your lenses calibrated for your dslr, you can google the benefits but essentially is marries the two products together so they work much better together.
