I am starting to get really into photography and i want to learn how to blur the background of a subject. I know that you need a wide aperture, but even at 2.8/f in AV mode the back isnt really blurred much. I have a canon powershot G10. The background does blur in the macro setting. Do I need a telephoto lens or tripod? what else can i do to blur the background?
