Yes you read that right. That word is pronounced (bō’kā) and it’s Japanese.
Bokeh refers to the visual quality of an out of focus area in a photographic image. It’s that dreamy, creamy, sometimes bright and always fuzzy background area when done right, can make you swoon.
I watched a youtube video on it, trying to wrap my brain around how to make my photos all purdy-like.
Basically, the closer you are & the higher your apeature, the more bokeh you will achieve.
But how to do make those awesome shapes in your bokeh with a “normal” lense?
There’s a lovely DIY article using black paper, scissors, tape, and your camera. I’m off to try this and bring it with me on my holiday adventures.
Because with potential like this?
Who wouldn’t want to a litttle bokeh in their lives?
