Adding Background Blur
Throughout the class I have showed you how to do a lot of things in camera, but most of these have a Photoshop equivalent too. Its best to compose everything in camera, but occasionally you'll find that you want to do something different than what you were going for when you captured the picture. If this is the case, I want to show you how to make it work.
This lesson will show you how to take a photo with a large depth of field and narrow it down using a lens blur. It doesn't take long to do, but it may require a lot of experimenting. Try it out and if it doesn't look good, undo it and try again. This handout will describe the process.
The below example is a before and after example. Both are from the same shot, but after following the process listed above, one has less depth in focus.
