How can I get the camera to focus on the subject and not on its immediate surroundings? Using a Nikon D5600 with 70-300mm lens. I love that I was able to capture the bluejay but so sad that the camera blurred it out. The grass around it looks so clear though! Was it my aim that was too low? This was at the highest zoom level so I couldn’t zoom on the bird anymore. Is there a way to tell what the picture will look like before takin…

What camera? Hi everyone. I’m a beginner entering this hobby. I’ve been doing research and I can’t get a clear answer. All the articles I read say it’s all up to the photographer and using different skills. That the camera itself doesn’t matter much when it comes to picture quality.
