Just having fun trying out my new "prime" lens (Canon 50mm), by shooting photos in my rose garden. | | This is one of my best (and hey, it even has a nice "bokeh"). I believe that part of the reason for the nice "bokeh" is the fact that my lens has eight diaphragm blades (some have less). | | I also shot many photos at another Rose Garden. All of them where great photos, but none could compare to this one. | | In this rose, the red, white and pink colors focus on the center, yellow colors (I'm sorry, but it just doesn't get much better than this). | | After doing more research about my lens, I found out that this photo would have been sharper at f/4.0 (or above) on the edges (fortunately the subject of my photo is mostly in the center). I guess I just got lucky. | | Hope you like it. | | Camera settings: 1/1000, Aperture priority, f/2.2, ISO 100, 50 mm (80 mm actual) rose flower beautiful Hey, Nice Bokeh

Bokeh created by raindrops on a window. | | Please let me know what you use this for, I'm curious. | | To users: Editing this is fine with me, obviously. Editing it and then putting it up in the Photography section (esp. without giving credit) is not. What you do when you use stock is photomanipulation, not photography.

In photography, bokeh (Japanese pronunciation: [boke]) is the blur, or the aesthetic quality of the blur, in out-of-focus areas of an image, or "the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light." | | Differences in lens aberrations and aperture shape cause some lens designs to blur the image in a way that is pleasing to the eye, while others produce blurring that is unpleasant or distracting-"good" and "bad" bokeh, respectively. | | Bokeh occurs for parts of the scene that lie outside the depth of field. Photographers sometimes deliberately use a shallow focus technique to create images with prominent out-of-focus regions. | | Bokeh is often most visible around small stock photo highlights, such as specular reflections and light sources, which is why it is often associated with such areas. | | However, bokeh is not limited to highlights; blur occurs in all out-of-focus regions of the image. | | The term comes from the Japanese word boke (暈け or ボケ), which means "blur" or "haze", or boke-aji (ボケ味), the "blur quality". The Japanese term boke is also used in the sense of a mental haze or senility. | | The English spelling bokeh was popularized in 1997 in Photo Techniques magazine, when Mike Johnston, the editor at the time, commissioned three papers on the topic for the March/April 1997 issue; he altered the spelling to suggest the correct pronunciation to English speakers, saying "it is properly pronounced with bo as in bone and ke as in Kenneth, with equal stress on either syllable". | | The spellings bokeh and boke have both been in use at least since 1996, when Merklinger had suggested "or Bokeh if you prefer." | | The term bokeh has appeared in photography books at least since 1998, It is sometimes pronounced /ˈboʊkə/ (boke-uh). | | Although difficult to quantify, some lenses enhance overall image quality by producing more subjectively pleasing out-of-focus areas. Good bokeh is especially important for large-aperture lenses, macro lenses, and long telephoto lenses because they are typically used with a shallow depth of field. Bokeh is also important for medium telephoto "portrait lenses" (typically 85-150 mm on 35 mm format) because in portraiture photography, the photographer typically seeks to obtain a shallow depth of field to achieve an out-of-focus stock photo and make the subject stand out. | | Bokeh characteristics may be quantified by examining the image's circle of confusion. In out-of-focus areas, each point of light becomes an image of the aperture, generally a more or less round disc. Depending how a lens is corrected for spherical aberration, the disc may be uniformly illuminated, brighter near the edge, or brighter near the center. Lenses that are poorly corrected for spherical aberration will show one kind of disc for out-of-focus points in front of the plane of focus, and a different kind for points behind. This may actually be desirable, as blur circles that are dimmer near the edges produce less-defined shapes which blend smoothly with the surrounding image. Lens manufacturers including Nikon and Canon make lenses designed with specific controls to change the rendering of the out-of-focus areas. | | + We hope to contribute something useful for all the proud members in the SXC community pink bokeh pink Pink Bokeh
