I have been asked often, What do do to I get my backgrounds so soft.
The answer really is " very little ".
As a boy I was greatly influenced by the early impressionist painters that filled me with wonder.
Also early NZ painters such as Keuleman ( Dutch )with his beautiful romantic portraits filled with promise,wonder and passion.
I also found early that big lenses gave me the rendering I liked used wide open.
This is caused largely by compression and the associated aberrations associated by this.
Sports photographers hate it but I love it as it achieves the kind of image I see in my heart....
I have always believed an image is an image is an image... how one arrives at this is his business.
Also light is an ever changing constant that paints your subject in a million different ways. Your camera catches only one of those, so which one is "right" ??????....
I wish everyone a great & safe new year....
