I highly recommend using a tripod ( like this one) while in night portrait mode with the T2i. You can enable the night portrait mode by rotating the mode dial to the icon with the little person next to a star. Have you ever taken portraits at night where your subject is blasted by the on-board flash and the background is completely black? In night portrait mode, the Canon Rebel T2i exposes the background and your subject to give a more natural looking portrait in low light situations. Once the autofocus point flashes red, you’re ready to take the portrait. When focusing on your subject, half press the shutter button and focus on their face or eyes.Check out my list of recommended portrait lenses for the Canon T2i. So with a shallow depth of field, things like hair and ears start to appear slightly out of focus which is great for putting the focus on the eyes or a smile. Depth of field is basically the range at which your subject is in focus. This will create a very shallow depth of field. Use a telephoto lens and zoom all the way into your subject.This distance will help put your subject into focus, while the background is blurred.
Create some distance between your subject and the background.Some of the best portraits are captured when the subject has no idea you’re taking the picture. You’ll be surprised at the amount of photos that turn out to be “keepers”. The cool thing about this mode is that you can capture natural expressions and spontaneous moments before and after your subject looks towards you.

This will allow you to snap off a series of photos at 3.7 shots per second. Here’s a quick tip while shooting in Portrait Mode: If you hold down the shutter button, the T2i will automatically enable burst mode (also called continuous mode). Well without getting into a lengthy discussion about aperture, the basic idea is that the lower f-numbers will isolate your subject and create a wonderful blurred background effect.Ī higher aperture f-number will put everything into focus, including your subject and their surroundings. You might be thinking to yourself, “ Ok Moose, so what does that mean?” In this mode the Rebel T2i will automatically select the lowest available aperture f-number. You can activate portrait mode by rotating the mode dial to the portrait icon. The easiest way to start taking portraits with the T2i is to enable portrait mode.
