Great information loaded here.Thxs. I also wanted to know how to get the background totally dark and focussing only on the clarity of the subject even in the daytime?

The background is what makes the photo. Gives context without destroying the subject can be tricky.
good tips.

The guy with the tree in the head is utterly marvelous. Like Camus, or the writer of Waiting for Godot. Kudos on the shot.

I didn’t see this mentioned so I thought I’d throw it in. The further your subject is away from the background, the easier it is to separate the two with depth of field. So instead of standing a person directly in front of a building say…a foot in front of a window….move them away say…three to five feet. It can make a huge difference in the amount of blur you are able to acheive. This took me a long time to learn and I wish someone would have told me!
