How to take photos with blurry background - for beginners

It was fun working with Olivia H. for this short photography tutorial on how to take photos with crazy dreamy blurry background. It is very easy and you can do this! In order to achieve this effect, you need: • Equipment: DSLR camera and 70-200mm f2.8 (any zoom lens with f2.8 will work) • AV mode – aperture priority • Camera setting: f2.8 or f3.2 with ISO 200 (good light condition) or ISO AUTO (low light condition) • Tripod for stabilization (sharper images) In addition, there are a few tips that Olivia mentioned in the video: 1. The AUTO FOCUS is available for you to use, USE IT! 2. Take many pictures as you can so you won’t miss any moments. 3. Maximize the zoom to get the background more blurry If you have any questions, you can post your questions below in the comment box. Thanks for watching!
