Nikon D40 Basketball Pictures How Do I Make The Subject Of My Pictures Clear But The Background Blurry?

How do I make the subject of my pictures clear but the background blurry? - nikon d40 basketball pictures

I have a Nikon D40 and I love taking pictures at basketball games. How do I delete the player, but blurred the crowd and everyone behind them? What can I do to the configuration settings?

Oh, you're shooting, but more importantly, it is time for the search to what the sports photographers shooting assignment.

What they do is the deliberate use of depth of field and shooting open the lens to create two high shutter speeds and Bokeh (good)

You can do this with your D40 well with 18-55 mm 55-200 mm lens, or if you have a shot with the goal wide open, have tried the lens, the sharper the background is blurred.

What you will struggle to fit the picture, because the sport is a lot more photographers lenses (400mm f/2.8 and 600mm f / 4, in most cases), large openings, in order not only to question the merits of each of the lenses to improve over time.

I suspect they will not run out and buy a new 400mm VR 2.8 slightly more than $ 7500

Here is a photo with a Nikon F4 600mm, sport is not taken, but the soil is completely gone. The light brown lines on the right side of the photograph of a palm tree.

You can see that since the first object in the second, there is a noticeable loss of activity.

In a game of basketball, the distance from the foreground to the background of small, so he used a width of 300 mm 2.8 or 2.8 of 400 mm of opening and closing of the public reader, as much as possible.

You can Photoshop the images. It would be much easier than buying a new goal.

Picasa is free and has an effect if you can do that.

The best way is to select the drive, and then "shake" add-in mail processing.

, Who will save $ 12,000 costs 600 mm f / 4 (I know, I confess), which is also great for basketball. In basketball, I always have a 100-300mm with Project Tory LEPP-A-Flash. May you inform the other end of the world with this thing.

600 is suitable for football, when you take pictures using the mobility at both ends of the field - to the sweat of thy face towards the center.
