Can background in a blur when you shoot a person jump?

Where ya been for two day? ;) This has been pretty well answered by now. If you just want to blur the distracting background, open up the aperture to narrow your depth of field (level of difficult = easy). If you want "motion blur", as I suspect, lower your shutter speed, track the subject, and be damned good with your trigger finger. In the example your posted, level of difficulty = not so easy in full sun. If possible, move to shade, where you can increase your aperture (smaller f) and lower your shutter speed at the same time. Good luck!

Love it or hate it, this site gets pretty damned addictive.
Sometimes I wish I could stay away for more than a day.

It's the digital age. Funny (in a way), I got a call from Mom last night. She was all panicky because my brother had a PET scan and no one had called her two hours later to tell her the outcome. I'm sure she remembers when you had to send a letter and wait two weeks for an answer. :roll:

This may qualify for part of anger management course.

I don't want to hurt nobodies feelings but when I first saw that picture I thought he had found Elvis! I better leave before I get into trouble.
