[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 456724, member: 13090"] Here's my confusion... I have always been taught that bokeh refers NOT to an out of focus background but rather, and much more specifically, to how the lens renders [I]small points of light that are out of focus.[/I] A blurry background, to my way of thinking is just that, a blurry background. Bokeh, is something else entirely. Let me see if I can find some pictures to illustrate what I'm talking about... [COLOR=#ffffff]....[/COLOR] Okay, I found a couple example shots; neither photo is mine they're both stock photos I found online I'm using to illustrate my point. This first shot has a blurred background and also has great [I]bokeh[/I]: [COLOR="#FFFFFF"].....[/COLOR] [ATTACH type="full" width="30%"]159541._xfImport[/ATTACH] [COLOR="#FFFFFF"]..... .....[/COLOR] This shot has a blurry background but it doe NOT have any [I]bokeh[/I]: [COLOR="#FFFFFF"]....[/COLOR] [ATTACH type="full" width="30%"]159542._xfImport[/ATTACH] [COLOR="#FFFFFF"]..... .....[/COLOR] [COLOR="#FFFFFF"].....[/COLOR] Furthermore... [COLOR="#FFFFFF"]..... .....[/COLOR] GOOD Bokeh: [COLOR="#FFFFFF"].....[/COLOR] [ATTACH=CONFIG]159543._xfImport[/ATTACH] [COLOR="#FFFFFF"]..... ..... [/COLOR] BAD Bokeh: [COLOR="#FFFFFF"].....[/COLOR] [ATTACH=CONFIG]159544._xfImport[/ATTACH] [COLOR="#FFFFFF"]..... .....[/COLOR] Am I alone in this train of thought?? [/QUOTE]
