hey I got a problem,everytime I make a photo, it focuses on one object,but I don't want that. How can I get a photo that's not focused on one object?
I have got a sony DSLR A500.
I am so happy to know that you can make beautiful photos with sony.
Most people making beautful photos are using canon or nikkon.

You need to know how to use and control depth of field.
There are three main things that can be used to control depth of field.
1. The aperture.
The smaller the aperture, the more extensive, wide the depth of field.
So if you want to keep as much as possible sharpness (for example this [link] here), you should set as small an aperture as possible - preferably f/16, or even f/22 if your lens offers it.
If, however, you want to concentrate attention on just one part of the scene (for example [link] ), and throw the rest out-of-focus, you should select a large aperture. Exactly how large this can be depends on the maximum aperture of the lens you're using.
2. This is very very simple. The focal length of the lens. The more you zoom out, the extensive the depth of field. The more you zoom in or the longer the focal length, the more restricted the zone of sharpness is. (for a same example [link] )
And the last option.... unfortunately, I don't remember.
Happy photography!

thanks for the big explaining.I will keep the 2 points in mind.
I am not sure but may flash light also be a facor. When I use no flashlight the photo seems more blurry than if I use a flashlight.
Have fun photographing ><

Wow, it's so ordinary, but you made it magical. It looks like it leads to another world or something...
