Hello,

I just bought a Nikon D60, 18mm - 55mm and I am trying take a photo and make the backgrond blurry...Can anyone help me, step by step?

Thank you,

Tamster

Use a large aperture (small F number) in Aperture priority mode to start.... When you understand exposure and photography better... You can do the same in Manual mode.

Read your manual, several times. It will be a GREAT resource to start learning with.

Easiest way: Put the camera in "A" mode. That's aperture priority. Set the aperture to the smallest number when the lens is zoomed in all the way... f/5.6 probably. Now focus on something as close to you as possible, with the background as far away as possible.
