30 Beautiful Bokeh Photos

June 30, 2009 from amanda's blog

Following my series of posts about photography, this time I have listed some really nice bokeh photos. I really love the bokeh effect that is nothing more than light out-of-focus. Of course the technique might be simple but to take a beautiful photo you need to know much more than just the technique.

Bokeh (derived from Japanese, a noun boke ??, meaning "blur" or "haze") is a photographic term referring to the appearance of point of light sources in an out-of-focus area of an image produced by a camera lens using a shallow depth of field.[1] Different lens bokeh produces different aesthetic qualities in out-of-focus backgrounds, which are often used to reduce distractions and emphasize the primary subject.
