Also worth mentioning is the difference between shooting a subject 45 yards away with a tele at f2.8 and one at 15 yards away with the same lens and aperture. Background on the closer subject will be much more blurred than with the further out subject.
If you can’t find a decent background at a ground try concentrating on wide apertures at close distance

good series of articles btw

You are forgetting to mention a big difference in dept of field when using different zoom-lenses. For example, when shooting with a 24mm lens, using aperture 2.8, your dept of field is much (and by much, I mean much) larger when shooting with a 300mm, 2.8. Even the difference between 200mm 2.8 and 300mm 2.8 is large.

We can continue by mentioning the difference between lenses with a round aperture and with a normal aperture, but lets stick to the basics
