    APERTURE &
    BACKGROUND BLUR
    CHEAT SHEET

    STEP ONE: SWITCH TO AV MODE

    Move the dial on the top of your camera away from AUTO! Switch to “A’ or ”AV”
    Mode,

    STEP TWO: CHOOSE A LOW APERTURE NUMBER

    Choose a aperture number (the F number) that is quite low. Try for around F3.2 or
    smaller.

    STEP THREE: POSITION YOUR SUBJECT

    Position your subject a good distance away from the background -


    remember the more distance between the subject and background, the more
    blur your will get

    STEP FOUR: POSITION YOURSELF

    To get good background blur, choose a longer length lens if you have the choice.
    If you are using a zoom lens, zoom “in”. This makes the background appear more
    blurry.

    STEP FIVE: WATCH YOUR DISTANCE

    If possible, try to make sure that you are closer to your subject than your subject is
    to the background -
    again this maximises background blur!

    STEP SIX: TAKE YOUR PICTURE!

    You are ready to go! Your image should now have some good background blur
    and remember you can follow these same steps at any time to get good results!
