Quick Outdoor Portrait Tip
When shooting portraits and you want to keep the focus on your subject (not the background), you’ll want to create a very shallow depth of field. This is actually quite easy to do. Here’s how: switch your camera to aperture priority, and select the lowest or next to lowest f stop number. This will allow your camera to select the proper shutter speed, and will give you a beautiful portrait with a nice out-of-focus background (and in some cases, foreground). Take a look at my examples below, and for more photography business tips and coaching, I’ll see you over at www.shuttermomuniversity.com.
