On iPhone 15 models, however, Apple's new next-generation Portraits use the same Photonic engine pipeline as regular photos, so there's no compromise in quality or shutter lag in either mode. On previous iPhones, Portrait photos mode used a more laborious system than regular photos in order to capture the depth map in the image, and this resulted in more shutter lag as well as a lack of support for Smart HDR. ![]() Here's how it's done.Īpple's Portrait Mode has become a popular way of taking impressive shots using a depth-of-field effect known as bokeh, allowing iPhone users to shoot a photo that keeps the subject sharp with a blurred background. You will note I hardly mention camera settings below, all you need to know is how to set the aperture to the lowest number (usually 1.4 or 1.8), then balance out the other settings (ISO and shutter speed) to give a good exposure.On iPhone 15, if you take a photo of a person, cat, or dog, the camera detects them in the frame and captures rich depth information automatically - allowing you to turn it into a stunning portrait right away or later on in the Photos app. To add to the mix we also tested some prime lenses against two zoom lenses, the 18-300mm and the 18-140mm lens, just to give you something to compare the prime lenses to. 35mm, 50mm and 85mm are the most common sizes. These lenses almost always come with a large aperture (The aforementioned big hole). ![]() So! Over to Terry… The best lens for background blurring (bokeh)įirstly if you want background blurring, otherwise known as Bokeh, in full length fashion pictures then you want a prime lens – that’s a lens that doesn’t zoom. He still insists it’s as simple as that, (Don’t get me wrong, he takes a mean picture but he’s not much for technical snobbery…) but after some cajoling from yours truly, he laid out his thoughts to this question in a simple comparison, using some of the lenses we’ve acquired over the years. I mean, I’ll write 3,000 words on that one time I got locked in the bathroom, no worries, but ask me to explain anything even remotely technical, and I’ll just be all, “Er, I know how to do it myself, but I don’t know how to explain it to you: sorry.”Īs Terry’s the guy behind the camera in most of my outfit photos, I asked him what his top photography tip for background blurring would be, and this was his answer: “Get a decent camera and a lens with the biggest hole possible.” Now, the fact is that when I get a blurry background on a photo, it’s normally because the foreground is blurry too, and I’ve messed up with the camera settings again: d’oh! But I’m guessing that’s probably not the answer you were looking for to this one, is it? Also, I’m joking: I DO actually know how to get that amazing bokeh effect, I’m just not very good at explaining this kind of thing. This finally inspired me to provide a guide to answer my most often asked photography question: “Hey, Amber, how do you get your background all blurry like that?” Seriously, I’m pretty sure that’s what he’s been mumbling about in his sleep recently – it’s THAT good. Or rather, Terry is.Īs I mentioned earlier this week, Terry and I have been thinking about upgrading our existing DSLR camera (the Nikon D7000), and, to that end, we’ve been trying out the Nikon D7500, along with a lens that Terry has literally not stopped raving about since it arrived. You know those beautiful blurred backgrounds you always see on fashion blogs? The ones that never seem to actually happen when you try to take them yourself? Well, today I’m here to help you out.
