How to Make Great Bokeh
Blurring the background & foreground of your pictures will cause your subject to visually Pop! These steps will teach you this technique (BOKEH)
Step1> Choose the right camera. If possible, try to get your hands on a dSLR rather than a point and shoot camera. A dSLR has much more control over the settings and the blurred effect, a.k.a BOKEH. The challenge with a point and shoot camera is that it is deigned to capture the entire picture in focus.
Step2> There are two settings that will allow you to apply the BOKEH effect: 1. Use the AV setting and 2. Use the portrait setting.
Step3> Using the AV setting is the preferred approach and will give you more control over the depth of field. Think of the AV setting as controlling the size of the depth-of-field front to back. The larger the AV setting, the more in front and in back of the subject will be in focus. An AV setting of 1.8 (f/stop) will have a very small depth-of-field (little in focus), while an AV setting of 22 will have a very large depth-of-field (everything in focus). For portraits, I typically use an AV setting of 4.0 - 5.6. ***WARNING - DO NOT USE A FLASH. A flash can kill the effect.
Step4> Using the portrait setting (looks like a head) may produce a similar effect, but usually there's no control over the depth-of-field. In my experience, I haven't had any success getting a good BOKEH effect from a point and shoot camera. The best chance you have is to use the portrait setting outside, in a lot of light/without a flash, and position your subject so that the background is very FAR AWAY. This might produce a blurred background and a sharp subject.
