any thread out there already have such info that I can go to? thanks
Just bought a D90 cos I think bokeh shots are cool

bokeh is basically the amount of DOF in a photo. or rather, in layman's terms, the blur blur background. haha.

Bokeh is the term used to describe the quality of background blur in a photo, not how blur (OOF) it is. Don't mix up Shallow DOF with Bokeh.

Don't try to define things if you don't know what it is.
Bokeh is the *quality* of the out-of focus areas. NOT the amount.

easiest way to play now if u r with kit lens i think is zoom all the way to 105, then set A to 5.6, select centre pt focus, then aim and shot... u shld get bokeh shots... but make sure ur subject and far away from the background...
if you can set your aperture to be f/3.5, that means you're at the widest focal length of 18mm.
At that setting, you can't achieve a narrow enough depth of field to get nice out of focus background.
So you need to zoom to the max 105mm (which corresponds to f/5.6), aim at an object nearby, and make sure that the distance between yourself and the object is MUCH less than the distance from the object to the background.
EXAMPLE:
You (cameraman) ------- Friend (subject) ------------------------------------------ Building (background)
<-----------3m--------------->|<----------------------------300m--------------------------->|
thanks for the tip. I will try this out later. Hopefully I get a good bokeh else my investment on the new camera would be a waste cos my reason for a D90 was due to bokeh.

My attempt with my 18-105 lens on a D90 is not so hot. Maybe I am too close to subject or my background is not too contrasting.
This is what I did:
a. Turn off auto focus to manual
b. settings was at A
c. Tried with f3.5
d. result was not as dramatic as what some others posted
anyone using the same equipment as mine and can give me some pointers to how they achieve it?
Thanks
