Okay OP....HERE is the article you need to read, in order to literally see the differences shown, the differences between a smartphone sized sensor, and a "FF" or 24x36mm sensor, and those sensor sizes in-between. The article is from 2012, on dPReview, and it is entitled Background Blur and Its Relationship to Sensor Size.

This will explain, and show, why d-slr camera pictures tend to look different from most iPhone or Android phone snaps.

If they are not yours, you should not be posting them, really. Copyright and such.

I know the people who posed for the pictures, I hid their faces because I know they don't want to show it, and I am not taking profit out of these shots. It's not like I was bragging or showing off or boasting about them because again I did not take the pictures. I cannot quote the source to keep the anonymity. I don't know what you find bad in this but again, I posted them just to see if you guys could help me by giving me advices on wich camera and lens to buy to get a similar result.

But the latest iPhone now blurs photos just like any professional camera. I just saw the TV commercial last night!

It is simple. It is against the forum rules.

It is a common misunderstanding that profit has to be involved before unauthorized use of someone else's photograph may actually be copyright infringement.
Here in the US (there is no location info in your profile) copyright law includes some provisions for what is known as "Fair Use" but what is or isn't a fair use is not at all cut & dried.

Please note that the Copyright Office is unable to provide specific legal advice to individual members of the public about questions of fair use.

You guys are making this a huge big deal. Like seriously, these are my classmates ! If I made a mistake, I apologize for it even tho I still don't know what the problem is. We are 15 years old taking pictures for fun. They are ok for posting their pictures here, but they don't want to show their faces. These are not professional photos and again I'm not taking profit out of these.

It is simple. It is against the forum rules.

What is againt the forum rules ? I still don't understand, just clarify please. I'm literally confused.

So I broke a TPF rule. But what if I do have the permission to post pictures that are not mine ? Is it okay ?

To clarify, it's not just a TPF rule; copyright protection is federal law. The forum rules are to be in compliance with that law. In other words, breaking the TPF rule on copyrighted material means breaking the federal law. Providing verifiable permission can be complicated, and it would be easier to simply find a different picture that illustrates what you are trying to achieve, and provide a link to that picture.

Posting other people's photographs is against the forum rules. It doesn't matter if they are your friends or if you are not making money, you mustn't post them. All photographs are copyright and you are expected to honour that.
