A Portraits B Group Photographs A Portraits Try recalling a portrait you have seen. Many times, a portrait of a singer or movie star shows the subject in focus with a plain or out-offocus background. You can take portrait-like shots by making the background hazy so that the subject stands out. This is done easily in the A mode by simply setting a narrow aperture. To make the background blurry, the aperture must be F 2.8. The wider the aperture, the narrower the range of focus is, hence the background falls out-of-focus. B Group Photographs Try recalling a group photograph such as a class photo taken on a school trip. Everyone stands in a row and a wide area including the background is brought into focus. You, too, can take group photographs that focus not only on the subject but the background as well. This is done easily in the A mode by simply setting a wide aperture. To include the background within the range of focus, the aperture must be F 5.6. The wider the aperture, the narrower the range of focus is, hence the background falls out-of-focus.The narrower the aperture, the wider the range of focus is, hence the background can be brought within focus.
