Thank you for these, they are clean,concise, and easy to Follow, i’m just an amatuer, i’m only sixteen, but my next year at school myself and my art teacher have twisted the schools arm to provode a course for photograpy, so these video’s have been a huge help.

thanks! i bought HS20 yesterday! best bang for the money!

Is it true that this is harder to achieve on a four thirds system like the olympus series DSLRs?

Hey everyone! You should check out some of my photography on my page! It’s much appreciated! -3

@khan848419 you need a lens with large zoom and small f-number… iow a big price-tag! however, if you don’t need much zoom capability, you can save a lot of money by buying a fixed lens with large aperture, such as the canon 50mm f1.8 which is very good for portraits and cheap.

very helpful..clear and easy to understand.

Thanks Man! I’ve learned alot from your videos.. – All the way here in Manila.

If I had a normal camera with a lens with a very small F-Number like 1,8. Would I be able to achieve this effect regardless of whether it is a DSLR or not?

are canon xh g1 the best video mode?

@harvey288 It depends on the model. usually point and shoot cameras have very small sensor, which results in lenses being very short, which makes it difficult to obtain a shallow dept of field. What you could try is putting your camera in A (perture priority) mode, select the lowest F-number available, zoom in as much as possible and try to increase the distance between the subject and background as much as possible. Ideally some distant mountains in the background and the subject on +/-2 meter.

a very informative vid for beginners like me,keep it up! God Bless

thanks for the tips. will try them myself. godbless!!!
