How To Do Differential Focusing Using a DSLR

Believe sometimes you wonder what are the ways or technics to make a photograph more interesting and attractive.

Differential Focusing is one of the way to make your photographs more eye-catching, where the subject of interest is in focus while others are blur. In this way, viewer can understand and see clearly what you are trying to empathize in the photograph.

1) Widest Aperture

2) Long Focal Length

3) Distance between lens and main subject as close as possible.
