In Digital Photography How do you Blur the background to acheive Bokeh ??

Cant seem to achieve this affect while taking Photographs -
Dont understand how to control the Zoom in order to get the background blur - please explain how ???

Answers:

1OPEN up the IRIS.....it shortens the depth of focus.

You want "action blur"? Make your subject stand real still, slow down the shutter, close the iris, then zoom out and hit the button while zooming out.....
Personally I prefer to just find good software to cut and paste the subject into it......
