Let the ubjecl tand out clearly
again t a blurred background.
Macro lenses are ideal for taking portrait photos.
Since the subject stands out crisply against a
hazy background,
you can capture the
whole scene in an attractive image.
To create a beautifully blurred background,
just choose the
Av
1
mode setting
while keeping the aperture fully open (for example,
f/2.8 or an even lower f/number, depending on your lens).

Make full use of light for attractive background effects
Try photographing a subject against background illumination - such as gleams of light
falling
through leaves - to capture images against a wonderfully luminous backdrop.
Don't forget
to set the aperture
2
as
fully open as possible. By making the
most of backlighting (shooting the
subject against light), you can take
an impressive portrait - using the
hair to create a shining "halo" effect. 'L"
