[QUOTE="AC016, post: 64422, member: 9619"] I have looked at all the pictures in here and i must say that many passed with flying colors! As i have understood "bokeh", it is to draw attention to the subject of the photo by blurring the background - having "bokeh" balls makes it even better. However, just because you blur the background in a picture, it does not necessarily mean it is "bokeh". I think the term is misused many times and misinterpreted many times. Again, the subject of the photo has to be the central focus of the shot, it has to stand out, jump out at you and that is done by making "bokeh" in the background. There has to be a central point of focus, you have to draw out the story or the subject of the photo. Anyhow, i have some good shots of my daughter - candid ones - and there is some decent "bokeh" and bokeh balls, drawing her out from the background and centering focus on her, which i what the picture is supposed to do. Plenty of shots of flowers with the same effect as well. Doing this with a nifty-fifty wide open, is very easy. Sorry, i will not post pics of my daughter here, so don't bother asking. Anyhow, loved looking at the pictures, very very nice indeed. [/QUOTE]
