I'll see what Affinity has with regards to lens blur. This one, for example, was clicked at f/8, and it was on a busy beach with people and beach tents in the background.
These were not clicked with Nikon, but just to show what going low to the ground can do If you're shooting birds and animals, getting as low to the ground as possible will improve the subject isolation Non-PF lenses do a lot better with this.and f4 and 2.8 non-PF teles too.even with close/busy backgrounds.that's the trade off though. I do not like how my 300 PF does with certain backgrounds either. Not sure if the ones you are dealing with have those or not. The problem is, as you know, with some places the subject will always be a lot closer to the background than where I can possibly position myself.Īnother consideration.a PF lens is going to have challenges with certain backgrounds if there are specular highlights. I am not sure how this works in Affinity. If you want to do it in Photoshop, mask the subject (PS can do this automatically), invert the mask so everything except the subject is now selected, and go to Filter -> Lens Blur and see if you like the look of that. If something busy looking is immediately behind your subject, the OOF area is not going to look great even at wider apertures than F5.6. If you want to improve your backgrounds naturally, get closer to your subject and/or try and position yourself so that the closest items in the background are as far away as possible. Other than using my feet, I want to know how I can make the rocks less busy and ugly using PS (btw, I use Affinity but I assume that it has many of PS's features). I noticed that its rendering of rocks in the background can be quite busy and ugly. I have a Nikon 500mm f5.6 pf and I'm happy with it for the most part.
