Bok-uh or Bok-ay. Regardless of how you pronounce it, it’s just scrumptious. Bokeh is created by your aperture, the wider the aperture, the lower the number, the more shallow depth of field, the MORE BOKEH. Or buttery blurry delicious background fuzz. *As someone just asked,”isn’t it the distortion of blur?” Here is the exact definition […]
I remember the first time I took a picture and accidentally created Bokeh. Not knowing what it was or even how I did it, only that it looked really cool. Now I strive to create it, understanding how to achieve it on purpose takes practice and understanding. Trying NOT to achieve it means understanding many factors as you pointed out. Through trial and error it finally “clicked”. Thank you Arden for this step by step post and all your contributions on IHEARTFACES. I’m so happy to have found a true professional mentor.December 15, 2010 – 8:54 pm
I’ve looked quite a bit online for something that would explain this, and I never felt satisfied until now. Great post!December 15, 2010 – 9:18 am
So I am completely ignorant to have thought that bokeh only had to do with lights being blurred? So glad you straightened me out! 😉December 15, 2010 – 9:06 am

Yes, yes I am still swamped. More creating and corresponding, which leaves even less time to do anything else, but edit all my sessions. I am posting a video of how Parx has been. She cracks us up, too timid to crawl – too spoiled? She is attached to me, like a little baby kangaroo […]

So, blogging has not been the priority lately. I have been posting a ton of peeks, but have a ton of finished sessions I need to post! I am so so so enveloped in this holiday photo season – editing, ordering, creating, uploading, proofing, shooting, etc. AND to top it all off I have a […]
