Using Blurred Backgrounds to add Drama to your Fall Images
Tip #1: Using a long lens to blur and isolate.
When I am working in areas where a background could be a distraction, if it is in focus, I will often use a long lens to blur and isolate the subject. I try to use a focal length of 300-500mm and get as close as possible while not stressing wildlife. This will result in allowing the viewer to see what is behind the subject while not making it a distraction. This blurring will help tell a story of the subject in its environment. I like to select f8 to give just the right amount of detail when using a long lens.
