Blurred Backround

That's a shot I took using a wide aperture (f/5.6)

In order to achieve capturing a photograph with an out of focus backround, which definitely makes your shot way more impressive, selecting a wide aperture is helpful. Set your camera's aperture to a small aperture number, but keep in mind that selecting a small aperture number, means having a large aperture opening, as this can be confusing for new photographers. You can also achieve a blurred backround by setting your subject far away from the backround. Also wide-angle lenses are a great tool as their focal length is smaller than that of a normal lens.
