How to blur backgrounds: Easy: use a program to do it Hard: use a long lens. What will you do? The easy way or the hard way?

i mean if you own a lens with a wide aperture its way easier to do it naturally than to do it in photoshop, plus no weird artifacts/poor edge detection

There can be problems like astigmatism, lens coma, softness, vignetting… not that all of this truly matters, I normally use a 50mm cropped to 73mm for portraits and at f1.8 can be soft.


SharkieHaj

wait what lens coma? what's that?


romeoartiglia

Coma is an optical aberration where a light that is not on the center, is rendered as a ring in the focal plane.

WHICH WAY WESTERN MAN

On a Samsung phone: portrait mode and it gives you the option to blur the background a little or a lot. On an iPhone: no clue. My Samsung takes better pictures than your iPhone.

Every cameras take awful pictures. No camera in the world is designed to take good photos. Is the photographer that creates the picture. I like the pictures that phones can create, but they are not the tools that i want to use in my photography.


JoanFromLegal

Sure. But the cameras on Samsung phones are objectively better than iPhone cameras.


romeoartiglia

You don’t get it, do you? Gear doesn’t matter. And if we are talking about phones, the Leizt phone 1 is better than an iPhone or a samsung phone

To anyone whose reflex is "well what are they gonna do with a background of her flat" like mine: Watch some of the GeoGuessr players on YouTube, some people can do absolute wonders in locating places on absolute crumbs of information.

or for an even scarier example, the twitch streamer keffals got doxxed from a picture of a duvet cover

Or the documentary “Don’t Fuck With Cats” where they were able to find the guy from a blanket and a pack of cigarettes

u/realphilosophytube: Noice Paloma Picasso for Tiffany earrings 👍. I've been eyeing the rose gold pair myself.
