Shallow depth of field

How shallow depth of field works

Shallow depth of field is a camera technique where the background gets blurred out whilst the depth of area is at its sharpest. As you can see here, I've taken some pictures that includes shallow depth of field.

Here is a step by step guide on how to achieve a shallow depth of field:

1.) Make sure you set your camera to the M setting (Manual)
2.) The aperture settings must be very low (F/4 - F/7)
3.) The shutter speed needs to be on a low setting as well (1/20 - 1/30)
