Camera Help
Im a noobie with camera stuff, ive seen these professional pictures taken of cars, and this effect where the car is in focus and everything else in the background isnt, its all fuzzy. What can i do to get this effect when i take pictures with a camera?
Go to the off topic forum on this board, theres a photography section...check out product reviews and they have tons of tips.
The only thing you need to focus on either the foreground or background only is a manual lense camera, then you can focus it however you please. Tricking an auto focus camera is going to be a lot trickier.
Also you can use Photoshop to "create" that blur effect, might be cheaper and easier if you don't already have a camera.

definitely the easiest and cheapest way to do it.
outline your car with your lasso tool, select inverse and i would probably use a radial blur.

get a DSLR, good lense, and leave the shutter open for tenths of a second and u should get those blurr out background. its much better looking if u were in traffic and everything its blurred cept for ur car. u can also pick a focus point for ur car. good luck.

My Canon Rebel XT allows me to pick the focal spot in the view finder so its easy to get the auto focus to make something in the forground or back ground blury if I want to.
