How do you get that ‘out of focus’ look in the background while keeping your subject in focus? That’s the subject of this week’s question.

The trick is understanding f/stops and depth of field, and the effect is exaggerated with lens choice. Use this technique for photography or video, but of course you need a camera with manual controls.

There’s more on this fundamental subject as well as understanding all three camera adjustments in this video.

This week Bry Cox talks about getting great skin tones right out of the camera. This goes for photography and video. You shouldn’t be editing or running filters to get great skin tones, they should happen perfectly, using the right techniques.
