[QUOTE="Joseph Bautsch, post: 16910, member: 654"] The effect you are referring to is called bokeh. The subject is in focus and the background is out of focus to varying degrees. You achieve the effect by controlling your depth of field. As ChrisM states you can achieve this by using a smaller number f/stop, as on your lens f/3.5 or even at f/5.6 depending on shooting conditions. But there is more to controlling bokeh, depth of field, than tossing in a small f/stop number. If you go to the blog section of this site and look up Depth of Field Primer Part I and Part II you will find a detailed explanation of depth of field, what it is and how to use it. Hope this helps.
