I just bought a nikon d5100 to start in photography and learn to take overall better photos of my children. I have been watching numerous videos and tutorials explaining the basics, P,A,S,M. I have general understanding of the modes. I want to photograph my young children in aperture mode with natural lighting. I like the look of the blurred background. My problem is I can't get a clear focused photo. I have increased my shutter speed but when I do the my photos come out very dark even when I increase the ISO. Granted the lighting in my home isn't great. I want to learn how to manually do this not in auto or sport mode. Any advice?</p></blockquote><p></p>
