I tried to get the objects at the background go soft,very soft. The distance between the main object and the one I wanted to be soft is about 1-2 Ft. I wasn't able to get the result I have in mind although I applied anti Scheimpflug correction. The F stop I was using was F 22. To get the result I have in mind, do I have to use F 5.6 or larger? and put the objects in the background further away?
Thanks for the tips.
