Hi guys, kindly comment on the bokeh, cos i don't know what to look out for. thanks thanks!
btw, this hip lady was shot teaching line dancing at botanic gardens. heh.
bro... do googling lah...ozora said:Erhmm actually what is Bokeh hah? Keep seeing this word in this forum. ;p
versionsix said:hhmmm.... so is there a difference between bokeh and blurred backgrounds? cos i read somewhere that bokeh is the rendering of out of focus points of light into circles and not polygons and blurred backgrounds are just blurred backgrounds. From what i gather, if i understand you correctly, you are referring to macro shots that have blurred backgrounds that are creamy smooth right?
For example, IMHO this pic has a relatively creamy smooth background so would that be considered a form of bokeh as well or no? just trying to clarify my doubts here. thanks thanks!

Could you kindly elaborate what do you mean by "neutral Bokeh"?
Do you mean the DOF, which f-stop and focal length will create good bokeh then.? :dunno:
Third photo of young girl: The bokeh here is also commonly known as a neutral bokeh. Everything in the portion of the green is evenly blurred. The light brown part is also equally bad. There is no 'bias of light' towards a centre point. It is also commonly considered no good where bokeh is concerned. A good artist will not paint in this manner too. This form of bokeh is directly opposite the first photo. Very loosely speaking, a good bokeh is in between this two form. The secret point is where the lens designer makes tons of money.:bsmilie:
