Controlling the Background
@ohnorok-
Creative aperture control allows you to remove the background by blurring it out, which directs
the focus to the subject. Using a shallow depth of field allows selective focus, which is used
to highlight detail in a small area of a scene. Conversely, a large depth of field can bring the
background into the picture, when needed.
A Bit About Bokeh

You have probably heard this word thrown around a lot, but what is bokeh? How do you even say
it? While the second question is a topic of endless (and fruitless) debate, most people agree that
bokeh is the way the lens renders out-of-focus blur. This is most obvious in points of light; when
defocused, the haze they create takes the shape of the aperture. Sometimes it is beautifully round,
sometimes it's octagonal, and can be more like a pentagon. Conventional opinion believes that the
rounder the aperture, the better the bokeh.
