People will say that a certain lens produces a lot of bokeh, which doesn’t make any sense, because bokeh is defined by character and is not a measurement. You will hear terms like “bokeh monster” when describing a lens and “bokeh master” when describing a person. Nowadays people spend a lot of time and energy searching for lenses that produce the best bokeh, analyzing reviews and charts that attempt to rate it. You either liked how a certain lens rendered blur or you didn’t, and few were trying to quantify it or rate it. It’s not that it didn’t exist, because obviously bokeh did exist, but it didn’t really matter. I don’t remember hearing the word bokeh spoken even once when I studied photography in college 20 years ago. What might be characterized as good bokeh by you might be described differently by another person.
It’s very subjective, and you can use any adjective you want to help describe it.
It’s often described in terms like good, creamy, smooth, bad, harsh, distracting, swirly, soap bubble, and so forth. It’s how well a lens renders blur, the aesthetics of it. I will do my best to explain it to you and also explain why it’s not as important as many people think.īokeh is defined as the quality of the out-of-focus area of an image. If you aren’t sure exactly what bokeh is, don’t worry, you are not alone, as a lot of people misunderstand it. Within photography circles, bokeh is an often discussed aspect of an image, and this is especially true over the last ten or fifteen years. If you are interested in knowing more about DoF, please read my blog titled “ what is depth of field?”.Kitchen Flowers – Pawhuska, OK – Fujifilm X-Pro2 & 60mm In other terms, we can also say that this picture has shallow depth of field. This bokeh effect was the result of shooting with small aperture value (large opening of the aperture) while maintaining the proper distance with the subject without using any bokeh filter. You can see the bokeh effect on the background where out of focus background images are making fuzzy circles kind of shapes. Here is one of the pictures I shot at 2010 cherry blossoms festival in Washington DC. Soft and blurred background with smooth edges is considered as a good bokeh because sharp edge bokeh is usually unpleasant to our eyes. The more out of focus the background lights are, the better the results will be. Bokeh filter is a simple filter that clips onto the front end of your lens and hence the filter blocks out pieces of light that cause the bokeh (blur) effect in your images to take the shape of the filter.īokeh filter produces nice shape when you use it with big aperture lens so that the foreground will be in focus and the background out of focus. Bokeh refers to the unfocused background in a photograph.
Bokeh is a photography term derived from the Japanese word for "blur" or "fuzzy". These customized shapes are achieved by using the bokeh filter over the camera lens. But nowadays, there is a trend to use the filter of different shapes, heart or stars for example, to create customized shape of the bokeh. Bokeh term is used to represent the shape of light which is blurred in the background of the photo. Bokeh is currently the fastest growing fads in modern photography. They want to try different techniques and tools to enhance their photographic skills. There is no doubt that photography is one of the fastest growing passion among people of different ages.
