Bring the small details into focus. Use aperture and zoom to separate your subject from the background.

Set up your detail shot.

Open your aperture

Change your aperture from f/10–f/11 to f/4 or f/2.8, depending on how much background blur you want to achieve.

Zoom in or move closer

If you can zoom, zoom as far as your lens can go. More zoom helps increase background blur. If you have a fixed lens, move in close to achieve background blur.
