I Am An Amateur Photographer And Am Looking For A Camera…?

Posted on | February 10, 2010 | No Comments

Okay I don’t do pictures professionally, but I am constantly taking photos for everything from family functions, to my neices/nephews, to nature, engagement photos for friends, etc. One day I do hope to get into it professionally, but for now I’d just like an affordable camera with good potential. I’ve looked at several, but would like a photographers opinion on this. I was hoping to find a camera that has the capabilities to focus on a certain aspect and blur the rest. I’m not sure what its called, but basically its like the bouquet of a wedding being the focal point at the front of the picture with the background being blurred (where the bride & groom might be standing).
Here is a photo that pretty much resembles what I’m looking to do.http://www.flickr.com/photos/abellastudi…
So please give some suggestions. Also, I’d love to get photoshop but its approx $700 which I don’t have. Is there somewhere to get it cheaper?
Thanks in advance!
