Alienware makes a photoshop plugin that simulates a Canon EF 85mm f/1.2 or a Nikon 105mm f/2.8 macro.They claim that their plugin will decrease depth of field and yield a Bokeh texture. Of course, you can create Bokeh digitally with various plugins. It’s possible to shoot in the brightest light and still achieve Bokeh by using a neutral density filter to open the lens diaphragm. I still live mainly in the past so you’ll have to go to other blogs for listings of the best lenses for bokeh. And since I do like shooting in the dark (almost) you could call me mister bokeh or bokeh bob. (probably one of the best lenses Nikon ever made). Previously I used a Nikon F and the best Nikon bokeh lens was my Nikkor f/1.8/105mm. Almost all of the photos on the blog have been taken with this lens.I’ve alway liked low light photgraphy and this lens wide open gives the best bokeh. Since the early eighties I’ve been shooting with a Leica (first an M2 then M4 and now an M6) and the lens of choice has been the Summilux-M f/1.4/35mm.
Although I didn’t know the existence of the word I find i’ve been creating bokeh for years. Naturally there are disputes around the best bokeh lenses. Bad bokeh presents chopped up patterns of light and dark,distracting blobs etc. Even lens of equal sharpness will form unique bokeh images.īeautiful boke softens objects in front of the line of focus and loses the detail in out-of-focus backgrounds but retains the shapes and tones. As different as one lens is from another. But fuzzy is fuzzy isn’t it? How could one fuzzy picture be different than another? Very different indeed. Bokeh effect is a popular photographic technique which uses blur to focus the viewer’s attention on a specific area of an image.
BOKEH DEFINITION IN PHOTOGRAPHY HOW TO
In the west we have always concentrated on the sharpness of lenses and tend to ignore the bokeh effect in photos. Bokeh effect: what it is and how to achieve it.
The word really should be boke but that would lead to mispronunciations the H is added and bokeh is pronounced bo as in boat and keh as in Ken. How do you pronounce bokeh? Bo and Ke come from two Japanese characters which mean “out of focus blur”. Japanese photographers recognize Bokeh as equal and just as important as the sharp ingredients in a photograph.
(Blur could refer to the effects of motion in photographs) Bokeh definition: How do we define Bokeh? The closest english word would be ‘blur’ but that covers too much territory.
