Background

[Roleen]

Hi

Link to photographers fb page https://www.facebook.com/scruffydogphotography/

I was wondering how to achieve that very smooth background. Is it all in the lens?

It's almost like a diffused glossy look. Its so vibrant and smooth.

I can't seem to link from the fb page, not sure how. Here is the link to her blog. There is a similar photo 6th from the bottom of a dutchunt. (Can't link directly to photo either) I do not have a similar photo. But I was just wondering if this is the achieved with the quality of lens or if photoshop helps in some way. I don't now how els to describe is but as a diffused glowy background. Even on some of the other photos you can see it clearly.  If you're not able to help me without a photo I'll take one soon and get back to you. I've attached a photo that might be more simmilar to the photo 17th from bottom If that helps.

Yeah, that's all about the lens, I reckon.

This is one of my favorite animal photographers! She has an entire section of her website dedicated to the gear she uses, as well as blog posts on her lenses - http://scruffydogphotography.com/index.php/the-scruffy-dog-gear-2/

She also offers mentoring if you ever want to learn from her one on one.
