Firstly, I would like to inform that I am a complete noob in photography, and therefore this question might sound silly but I just need to ask it.
As browsing the web, I came across pictures like this one [I do not own it, by the way]:
Click here
My question is: what settings were used in order to make the background really blurry [I can even see some bokeh] but, at the same time, keep the main subject really well focused? Because, you see, I have a Nikon D3100 [so a DSLR camera] and, everytime I take pictures, the background never gets so blurry, and is hardly different from the focused subject [it is a bit blurry, of course, but not so radical as in the picture I've linked]. What settings should I use for that?
Sorry again if that is a stupid question, I'm really new to photography so yeah.. help would be really appreciated :mrgreen:. Thanks!
