Well, some photos are just too much work in Photoshop.
Think about some photo where you have to select a lot of different parts that need to be blurred between the sharp parts, like in the following example attached.
As you see all those tubes of this burned vehicle, you have to select the parts in between that need to be blurred. Some objects you shoot are quite complex, and so gets your Photoshop work.
Think about a portrait photo of a woman whose hair blows in the wind. Only the hair needs to be sharp, and the background blurred. So you have to select every piece of photo between the hairs, because these need to be blurred.
It IS possible in Photoshop, but it would take a lot of work for some photos.
Interesting article I saw on Mashable a few days ago (though ‘the Internet’ has been talking about it for a little while so you may have heard about it already):
The “Lytro”. A camera that will capture not only how much light hit the sensor and where, but also what direction the light came from, allowing you to focus after you’ve taken a picture.
The available option that i knew are that you have to zoom lens to maximum and you can also adjust the focus manually or can change aperture setting.
If all this not work then only option left you have to read the operating manual again more carefully to get what you want.
Photo editing software can do the trick but can be time consuming as well. Try to shoot photos with the back ground very far away and try to shoot in manual mode if you have that option.
Turn your aperture way down as low as it will go. Try to get a lens with a really low aperture - the lower the better.
The other thing you can do is increase subject distance from the background. The closer the subject is to the background, the less blur. Lastly, you can also move yourself to adjust the field of view and background blur as well.
A good sweet spot is an aperture 2.0 through 4.0. Going much higher than that, and you’ll get less and less blur.
You can do it in portrait mood. But yeas lens is a fact. You need zoom lens or 50mm or 85mm lenses. just try to focus on the object . fix the focus and your background will be blur automatically.
