In the world of photography, the term bokeh refers to the shape of the
area does not focus on the image produced by the lens by using a sharp narrow
space. Bokeh is a word in the original language of Japanese boke a noun form
meaning Fuzzy meaning "blur". So the picture is characteristic bokeh
photos that highlight the main object sharp focus, while the background or the
front is very fuzzy or blurry. Each lens will produce the quality and
aesthetics of different bokeh shapes. The technique makes the background blur
is one technique that is used to accentuate the subject, especially when in a
crowded background.
Bokeh can be generated by setting the camera with a wide aperture
(small number) such as f/2.8, f/4.0, or f/5.6
Why Photo Bokeh?
Bokeh Pictures worth a look because it naturally helps the workings of
our eyes at the sight of a photograph. With a sharp space (depth of field) is
narrow, our eyes immediately fixed on the sharp area. If there is the sharp in
a photograph while the rest is blurred, our eyes will be glued directly to the
area that was sharp.
Bokeh or selective focus or any photo that has a sharp narrow
definition of the truth also has a compositional function. By accentuating the
sharp and blur the other as we put an emphasis on the sharp area earlier.
Viewers photo will also be made easier to understand which part of the
photographer wanted to emphasize and which parts that are to be sweetened.
Bokeh can also be used to minimize the effects of background or
background that looks busy and disturbing point of interest in a way to make
the background blur earlier. If the background looks equally sharp or blur just
a bit more than a point of interest (main subject) images, the background might
interfere with the way we look at these photos.
Tips for Creating Photo Bokeh
Tips for Creating Bokeh photos or Blur. One major difference between
the eye and the senses are the eyes of a camera lens has a depth of field is
almost without limit, while the lens is limited. Consequently, the focal plane
is not an area of the eye lens. However, this weakness can be a plus if we
can use it well. One is the bokeh effect.
Although the principle of works by the workings of vision, but of
course the camera has many disadvantages when compared with our eyes. One
drawback is located on Depth of Field (DOF). Our eyes have an almost infinite
DOF, while the camera lens DOF was limited. Focal plane camera lens covering
focal plane eyes. However, even with the use of these shortcomings, the
photographer can produce images with bokeh effect is captivating.
There are five major factors that influence our quality of bokeh
photos, meet sixth then you get bokeh with quality thumbs.
1. Use a large aperture.
Bokeh comes from the lens instead of the camera. Therefore, the most
important thing to do is set your lens aperture to the large aperture (the
largest allowable shooting situations - the maximum aperture). You can do this
using Aperture Priority mode and change into the smallest value f (aperture
ring rotate anticlockwise). Read again about aperture and depth of field.
In this setting we practically lose depth of field becomes shallow /
superficial. If you do like the bokeh effect. Non-zoom lenses with aperture
superstores is the fastest way to get bokeh, such as lens 85mm f/1.8 and 50mm
f/1.8
2. Recognize Aperture & Depth of Field
Think about the distance, the distance in front of and behind the
object field. Suppose you stand one meter in front of your friends (next = 1
meter distance) and you drop the focal point of the lens on the front of your
friend earlier. Your friend was standing about 10 meters from the nearest
background (rear distance = 10 meters), then the background will look very
blurry. Essentially, the smaller the distance the front (the distance between
the lens to the object), and the greater the distance the rear (the distance
between the objects with the background), the blurred background
3. Use the longest focal length.
When you use a zoom lens, use the longest focal length to further separate
the main object with the background. For example: when you use deadly 70-200 mm
lens, set at a position 200mm focal length to produce a nice bokeh. Read again
the focal length
If your bag stored in a 300mm lens, 18-200mm lens, 14-24mm lens, choose
the longest lens (300mm) if your goal is to produce images that bokeh death.
4. Select the best optical quality lens you can afford to buy.
Bokeh quality is also greatly influenced by the optical quality of the
lens that we use. Say you can have two lenses that same maximum focal length,
eg 18-20mm/f5.6 lens and lens 70-200mm/f2.8, because the optical quality of the
lens 70-200mm (usually) far superior to the 18-200mm lens ( so the price is
also many times more expensive). Then use the 70-200mm lens before, and as much
as possible wear on the aperture f/2.8. Make sure you read the reviews before
you buy lenses.
5. Use prime lenses
Because the larger the aperture the better photo bokeh, if you have a
prime lens, wear. Prime lens or a prime lens or fixed lens, is a lens that has
a focal length lens that is not a single alias can be zoom. Prime lens usually
produces a very nice bokeh photo because it has a very large aperture, typical
50mm lens PRME is f/1.4, 85mm f/1.4 or f/1.8 and 50mm variants cheap 85mm f/1.8.
Learning photography talked a lot about prime lenses
