I just bought a Cannon Rebel T3 EOS 1100D. I was just messing around in my house getting use to the camera. I could use all the advice in the world. This technique is cool (for a beginner at least lol) Its hard not to get it blurry without a tripod. Also I have to get suuupppeeerr close to make this effect work. I really dont know why either, if anyone can help me out that would be cool.

Messing around in the house is a great way to learn. The second one is kind of ominous.

Shooting bokeh around the house is always a fun way to practice : ) I do that myself with Christmas lights. Always make sure your focal point is on what your trying to shoot. If your shooting on full auto...switch to AV mode, set your f.stop to something shallow to get that nice bokeh...and then make sure to boost that ISO in order to have enough shutter speed to not get a blurry shot. Then just practice on those settings and have fun. If your shots are still blurry..it might not be your shutter speed or focal point...maybe your lens is not that sharp at shallow depth of field work...try stepping up to f4 and see if that helps a bit.

You can figure out your DOF here:

Online Depth of Field Calculator

anything outside the DOF will start getting OOF (out of focus) and the farther away outside the DOF, the more OOF it will be (properly done, this is Bokeh)!

shots are nice!

My advice is to read some beginner's guides to exposure. The sooner you can get out of Auto Exposure mode, the better.

Thanks for the advice. MY F.stop was at the lowest it can go i think a 4.5 But my ISO was at 200. Your saying it should be higher? Then it wont be so blurry, cause it seemed like my shutter was really slow so while it was taking the picture and kindof movement made it blurry.

Your shutter speeds are really slow. You should up your ISO to 800 or even 1600 to reduce the camera shake blur.

Alright thanks. MY first day off with the camera so im go outside and take some pics.

First time out with my Camera.. Please let me know what you guys think.

Just a quick forum tip. Number each pic so it's easier to point out specific pics and put critiques/comments/etc for each.
But love the bokeh in 1-3. Practicing at home is definitely a great way to start learning about your camera. Try going into manual mode and playing around with different settings to get a feel of how things work.
