Bokeh : What Is It and How To Get It


Dictionary.com defines Bokeh as - A Japanese term for the subjective aesthetic quality of out-of-focus areas of a photographic image. No matter how one defines it, the blurred background of most photos adds a pleasant look to the picture and leads one's attention to concentrate on the subject at hand.

DigitalRev put out the video below to illustrate how to take photos with varying bokeh. Generally, a longer lens gives more bokeh than a shorter lens with the same aperture setting. You can see more examples of different bokeh on my website - MichaelDanielHo.com
