Hi!
I saw a lot of nice portaits here with very low DOF and a very blury background, like here:
http://www.thephotoforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=36040
or
http://www.thephotoforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=36152 (#2 pic especially)
I am trying to achieve this with my PowerShot A520, but without any success yet. Any tipps? What am I doing wrong? I could achieve a low DOF only in macro-mode, but I don't think I have to take portaits in macro-mode.
I can post some photos with settings if needed...
I'am also going to try it with my old equipment (35mm film on Canon AV-1, 50mm 1.8 and 70-210 4.0). Is it a better idea?
Thanks,
