I am not a professional photographer. As a matter of fact, i don’t take photography seriously even though i have a DSLR and 3 kinds of lenses. I use my DSLR for my videography projects 90% of the time. I hope this tutorial would help you. I just wanna share the basics i know about blurring the background. :-)

To get better bokeh use the 50mm 1.8, 1.4 or 1.2. They work better than telephoto lenses.

Its better to use prime lenses for bokeh effect. But it will also depend on the situation. Nice vid!

@tolongr It will automatically stop when it reaches 12 mins.
