Shallow depth of field is a great way to pull focus straight to your subject by blurring the background. Not only that, the blur, also known as the "Bokeh," also provides distinct aesthetic qualities to your image. While the usual choice of lenses for great shallow depth are the primes with fast apertures, you can still achieve great depth using a zoom lens and some in-camera tips maximize the effect.

There are few phenomena more spectacular than the Northern Lights or Aurora Borealis, to give them their correct name. This magical spectacle in the night sky isn’t always that easy to see or find so, if you do track down the aurora you’ll want to make sure you photograph them correctly. In this article, I’m going to give you all the information you need for perfect Northern Lights images. WHAT CAUSES THE NORTHERN LIGHTS? Our sun is continuously bombarding Earth with a solar wind of electromagnetic waves and particles, which all act differently with the atmospheric atoms they encounter. The solar wind’s electromagnetic particles and its highest frequencies contain enough energy to strip electrons from the atmospheric atoms, creating a charge imbalance known as ionization. Obviously, this would be quite…

I have the simplest tastes. I am always satisfied with the best.” I frequently think about that quote, which has been attributed to Oscar Wilde. When used ironically, it can be a funny way to comment about something that is actually subpar. It’s the kind of quote that’s fun to say when your coworker lifts an eyebrow because they see you eating cold mac and cheese from a cracked plastic container - again. Although Oscar Wilde and I technically work in the same profession (writer, not bus driver), Wilde enjoyed a bit more success and fame than I have so far. He was quite witty, and even though he might have said that phrase tongue-incheek, there was probably some truth to it when he said it. And hey, we’re still…

Shallow depth of field is the simplest way to draw attention to your subjects when you’re shooting portraits. In my mind, as I’ve said frequently before, understanding and controlling your depth of field is the single most important photography technique you can learn. But in addition to understanding depth of field, there are some simple techniques you can employ to maximize the effect. In this expert guide, I’ll run you through some of the most effective. SHOOT WIDE OPEN The fastest way to get shallow depth of field is to shoot with a large aperture (f 1.2, 1.4. 1.8, 2, 2.8). But a zoom lens with a fixed aperture of f2.8 will be extremely expensive. However, prime lenses with large apertures can be picked up for a far more reasonable…
