    Long focal lengths with a good distance between the subject and background will cause the blur, as will big apertures (small "f stop number"). Its really a personal preference as to when to use it. I shoot at f/8 90% of the time because that seems to be the sweet spot for sharpness on my cheap lenses, and can still produce some nice blur.

    this was shot at f/8

    On a smaller subject, achieving DOF is easy.

    50mm @ f/1.8
    [​IMG]

    Larger subjects mean either longer focal length or/and big aperture as stated above.

    105mm @ f/5.6

    Mario, here's some examples of RAW capability. You wouldn't be able to do this with a JPEG. :p
