Hey folks, amateur photographer here. Just picked up my first DSLR yesterday. A Nikon D3200. Love the camera. Will fit my needs for a few years i believe. It came with the 18-55mm VR Lense…
I have a question. Im starting to shoot in manual mode and getting fairly good at still motion photography. I plan to buy a new lense but specifically for car photography. I love shooting cars especially my own.
However, I am confused to why I cannot get a very soft background (like a portrait almost). Nothing too wild… But here is a PERFECT example:

I know that I have an entry level camera, and need some lenses to create this shot. But what is the best lense/technique/advice to get to make a car in focus sharply with a blurred background?
I understand how aperature works… Kinda. Thanks
