Today's Photo Challenge: BOKEH
What is Bokeh? Bokeh is how your lens turns out-of-focus points of light into soft, smooth shapes (often little circles). It’s not to be confused with just having a creamy or blurry background. Bokeh is specifically about the quality of those blurred lights and edges.
How to create Bokeh?
1) Use a wide aperture (small f-number like f/2.8), this creates shallow depth of field so only your subject stays sharp.
2) Get close to your subject and leave plenty of space between it and the background
3) Use a longer lens if you have one, at least 50mm, but longer is better.
4) Look for backgrounds with small points of light (sun through leaves, fairy lights, reflections) — these turn into the soft glowing circles that show off bokeh best.
