If your camera has the options, you need to use low iso, and high shutter speed to get shallow depth of field.
This image has very low contrast. I don't see much for shadows in this image, so I am guessing that the sky was overcast when it was shot.
For better focus on the subject that you choose, try centering the view in the camera on that object, then push the shutter lightly, which will set the focus and exposure, then hold the shutter that way while you compose and shoot the shot. That will lock the focus range on the subject that was in the middle when you applied the light shutter pressure.
Welcome to DPC, and it is nice to see you entering challenges. |
