  • Can you make a tutorial , or tell me how to blur in Nikon CoolPix L120 ? pls respond

  • @shadowmaster799, I am not completely sure what you are asking. If you mean that you would like a shallow depth of field (so that your subject is sharp and your background is blurry), then you could use Aperture Priority and open the completely (small f number). Using a high focal length ("zoom") will also decrease the depth of field. something like "portrait mode" might be an easy way to simulate this.

  • Awesome Vid. Man, as a beginner to photography I understood everything until maybe half way and even then you were very simple and concise please make more vids. Also I am debating about getting either a canon 60d or rebel t2i can you help!?

  • @MedicAlv1 Thanks for the feedback. I have only played with the 60D for about 15min at Photokina and liked it - the familiar EOS feel with a few extra features. The swing screen could certainly come in handy. I would almost certainly take the 60D over a T2i, but then again, the latter comes in a Jackie Chan edition!
