I haven't quite figured out how to take good blurred shots, So this is my first shot of bokeh,this is the street night bokeh
light photo that I shoot last night.
When it gets too dark outside to take pictures without a tripod, to take these kinds
of pictures. I increase my ISO a little, make sure my shutter speed is fast, set
the camera to manual focus and then adjust the focus until I get circles of light.
The bigger the circles, the blurrier your photo will be. All two of these were
taken inside my car at night, so the lights are from street lights.
WHAT IS BOKEH ?
Bokeh, also known as "Boke" is one of the most popular subjects in photography. The
reason why it is so popular, is because Bokeh adds depth and dimension to a
photograph, making it visually appealing and forcing us to focus our attention on a
particular area of the image. The word comes from Japanese.
Basically, bokeh is the rendering of out-of-focus areas by a camera lens. It is the
background blur that we are so used to seeing in photography, that separates a
subject in the foreground from the often busy background. This subject isolation
adds depth to an otherwise plain, two-dimensional photograph, pleasing our eyes and
our perception of the image. Bokeh has infiltrated not only photography, but also
motion picture. You might not have noticed, but next time you watch a Hollywood
movie, pay attention to how they intentionally separate the main character and blur
the background, so that we know where to look and focus our eyes on bokeh.
