Getting good depth of field with my nikkor 18-105 lens...?

I'm taking family portraits of four people this next weekend. I'm wondering how to get a good depth of field with my nikkor 18-105 lens? What shutter speed, and aperture should I set my camera to in order to blur the background out? Also i'm not sure what other settings I will need to adjust. I set it to it's lowest which is f3.5 and it didn't blur anything out. Do I need to focus on an object and then take the photo. Still confused on this because i'm still learning everything on this camera. thanks for any help!

You're probably getting f3.5 on that lense at 18mm and something like 5.6 at 105 mm. That's what you call a "slow lens," in that it doesn't let in a lot of light.

To get good blurred out backgrounds you'll need a pro f2.8 lens, or a cheap 50mm 1.8 "normal" lens. As a pro, I'd say at around $100 the 50mm f1.8 is the best investment a budget-minded photographer can make.

But if you're shooting a group of 4 people, you'd want to have some decent depth of field anyway to make sure they're all sharp (in focus). I'd use a tripod if possible and go for f8. You won't get any blurred out backgrounds, but at least all of your subjects would be sharp. That's doable with your lens.

I'd use at least a 1/100 shutter speed and a low ISO (like 200 or 250). You'll have to see what your meter says, though, and that will have a bearing on what shutter speed you use. You don't want to go lower than 1/60.

For a truly blurred out, selective-focus type shot, buy a 50mm f1.8.
