=Shallow Depth of Field= A picture is said to have shallow depth of field when the focal point is in focus, but the background and/or foreground is blurred. This technique is used alot in portrait photography.

There are a couple ways to achieve shallow depth of field in your pictures, as follows:
 * Use a large aperture, f5.6 or lower.
 * Use a zoom lens.
 * Bring your focal point close to you and the background far away.
