Excellent street portrait taken by Samuel a couple of weeks ago on the beginner 1-day Essentials Photography Course.
This lovely lady kindly allowed my students to take a few quick photos of her in-between a break from a dance routine practice with her dancer friends in CBD.
I suggested to Sam this would be a good time to try out his new 50mm f1.8 prime lens and use an aperture of f2.8 to blur out the busy background with a shallow depth of field.
Under time pressure, Sam captured this wonderful portrait - great composition/ framing and nailed the exposure / light on the dancer.

Shades of Pink - wonderful wild flowers using shallow of depth of field captured by students Aoife and Chiara on SignaturePhoto Beginner Essentials 1-Day photography course in Sydney last week. These excellent images were taken using entry level DSLR cameras - photography is not about expensive camera gear but understanding depth of field, apertures, selective focus, composition & light!

On my iPhone and Smartphone photography workshops I often get asked how and when to use the ‘Portrait' mode setting on iPhone and Android smartphone cameras?
While it is called ‘Portrait’ mode on smartphone cameras to simulate shallow depth of field / blurry backgrounds, particularly when taking photos of people to isolate the person or animal’s face from a busy background, ‘Portrait’ mode can also be effective for blurring busy backgrounds for other subjects such as birds or flowers so the focus is on the subject as in these examples taken on iPhone camera in past couple of weeks.

If you want to learn some useful photographic tips on how to create blurry backgrounds using your smartphone camera and when and when not to use this feature - come and join either SignaturePhoto iPhone Photography workshop (next date Sat 19 April) or Smartphone Photography workshop (next date Sun 27 April). Both workshops $95 p/p.
