In photography, bokeh (Originally play /ˈboʊkɛ/,[1] play /ˈboʊkeɪ/ boh-kay, and also sometimes heard as play /ˈboʊkə/ boh-kə,[2] Japanese: [boke]) is the blur,[3][4] or the aesthetic quality of the blur,[5][6][7] in out-of-focus areas of an image, or "the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light."[8] 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.[3] 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 background highlights, such as specular reflections and light sources, which is why it is often associated with such areas.[3] However, bokeh is not limited to highlights; blur occurs in all out-of-focus regions of the image.
Had a light shower of rain come over my house while the sun was still out so I decided to play around with bokeh for the first time in a while.
Shooting the sigma 18-35 wide open, at 35mm, and close to the minimum focus distance on the canon 100d/sl1 in aperture priority, but paying attention to shutter speed to capture the corrosion from the sea spray on this chain-link fence. I can't decide if I would like just a little more depth of field since only the very front of the fence is in sharp focus.
"Bokeh-tastic!!"
Well, the nifty fifty is only working on manual focus, thought I might as well make the best of a bad job. Here's my new fibre-optic tree :-)
The gate is there to stop K from going in the kitchen to keep her safe from the stove. But there's nothing she likes more than ransacking the cupboards etc. so she spends a lot of time standing longingly at the gate!
Long time no see. I've been busy starting my photography business and doing craft shows. Here's a bokeh wednesday shot. Enjoy!
Busy day trying to make some progress on my paper, so just took some quick shots in the laundry room. No, we don't normally have chains hanging from the ceiling. Except when I've really pissed K off... TMI?
OK - they were just off to the side and I thought I'd hang them up from some hooks on the ceiling and see how the light worked. It worked good enough because I've got work to do tonight yet.

Porque de tal manera amó Dios al mundo, que ha dado a su Hijo unigénito, para que todo aquel que en él cree, no se pierda, mas tenga vida eterna. Juan 3:16
Las casitas pertenecen a mi hermana, venían llenas de galletitas, después que se acabaron las guardó como decoración y la primera vez que las vi pensé en tomarles fotos, no me imaginaba este resultado, después de hacer el montaje con el Photoshop del bokeh atrás de las casitas, me gusto como quedó la iluminación y creo que representa bien estos días de fiesta en los que la familia se une aunque sea una vez al año.
