30 Beautiful Bokeh Photos
June 30, 2009
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.

I'm sure that when I die I'll be seeing a lot of bright colored bokeh, cus' by my opinion its one of the absolutely most beautiful phenomenon photography has got to offer! Love it till the day I die (and beyond (apparently))
When they have something in the focused plane, it gives it more of an atmosphere.

I like the one with the girl holding the cell phone. It almost seems intimate.
Nice effects. Like a noir movie. When a see a picture like these, I remember a song: Burial - Distant Lights
I think my photo "Cabkeh" should be added to this list...
