Bokeh
"Bokeh, The Snow White of Photography. Bokeh is the fairest of them all. Bokeh is like a Jewel, it is different from all the rest." -- popular photographer
Bokeh is the aesthetic quality of a blur in the out-of-focus regions of an image. Special filters, such as the Apodization filter, will soften the aperture edges of an image to smooth the defocused areas of an image. In result gradually fading circles appear. Some cameras have special settings to create Bokeh and don't need such a filter, such as specially marked Nikon and Canon cameras. One of the more popular models is the Minolta/Sony STF 135mm f/2.8 [T4.5] uses a high quality Apodization filters.
Camera settings are also very important. Because not all cameras need a filter to create Bokeh they need special settings that you can only get in more advanced models, the filter still works better though. Some examples are: the 85mm lens & 70mm aperture* or the traditional portrait lens. The traditional portrait lens does not make perfectly clear Bokeh but is still considered Bokeh because of the blurry pattern in the background, unlike smaller mechanisms such as your cell phone that still can make patterns like Bokeh, but unlike the traditional portrait lens, it is not considered Bokeh. Another type of lens that makes Bokeh without a filter is the Leica lenses, most often the vintage, excels Bokeh quality more than most cameras.
Did you know that the MIT Media Lab discovered the Bokeh effect can be used imperceptibly small barcodes called bokodes, by using markers as small as 3mm with a small lens over them? If the marker is viewed out-of-focus through a regular camera at infinity, the result should be large enough to scan the information in the barcodes.
Bokeh is the atheistic quality of the blur in the out-of-focus regions of an image. Bokeh can be created by filters, such as the Apodization filter or special settings on newer camera models.

When was Mind Bokeh created?
Mind Bokeh was created on 2011-03-29.
How do you pronounce bokeh?
Its correct prouncement is "BO-KEH", (that's to say; 'bo' as in bone, and 'keh' as as in 'kelly'. "BO-KEH" There is an equal length period of emphasis placed on each syllable.
What is Bokeh Photography?
Only the focused subject of the photo is sharp. The out of focus area are soft and diffused
How is the best way do Bokeh Photography?
Buy a lens with a very large aperture (50mm f/1.4 or larger) and open it up all the way.
What is bokeh garney?
"Bokeh garney" is likely the phonetic spelling for "Bouquet Garni", which means garnished bouquet in French. It's bundle of herbs and/or spices which are tied together, wrapped, or tied into a little bag of cheesecloth or a tea strainer and placed into a dish ( eg: beefBeef_bourguignon) during cooking in order to infuse the herbs' flavors into the dish being prepared. Vegetables can be included as well. It is then removed before serving.
How is the aperture used in a creative way?
Because if you use a wider aperture (lower f/stop), you can get blurred out, creamy, smooth backgrounds. If there are lights in the background of your photo (Christmas lights work best), and they are out of focus, they will turn to round bokeh.
What are a few of the most popular photoshop textures?
One will find many popular photoshop textures to be liked by different groups of users. Some examples of popular photoshop textures consists of denim textures, bokeh textures, and sepia textures.
Can you take a bokeh picture with a Nikon d40x?
Generally, you can with all cameras. All you need is a shallow depth of field. You can achieve this by using a low aperture (ex. f/2.8, f/1.8) The lower the f/#, the shallower your depth of field will be.
How can I calculate the right depth of field while taking a photo?
If you're using a DSLR (digital single lens reflex) camera, you need to have it set to Av (aperture priority). The lower your aperture, the less depth of field and vice versa. If you're using a point and shoot camera, you cannot manually control your aperture settings, the various modes do that for you.

How do you get a clear picture of something and blur out the background?
This effect (with the blurring known as bokeh) is used quite commonly in portrait photography as well as wildlife photography and helps to increase the prominence of the object of interest within the image while minimising the distracting effect of the background.Most cameras have a portrait setting which will help to achieve this effect. They do this by maximising the aperture size of the camera lens (letting in more light) which in turn has the effect of minimising the depth of field (a term used to describe how much of the image in front and behind the object of interest is in focus, the smaller the depth of field, the smaller this distance and the more blurred the foreground and background will be - the Wikipedia page on bokeh linked to below has some very good examples of this) so that when you focus on the point of interest, the fore and background will be blurred.If you have an SLR camera (one with a detachable lens) you can manually achieve the same effect by maximising the aperture (i.e. setting the lowest f-stop number possible). You can usually do this by setting the camera to manual or aperture priority mode (which will let you alter the aperture size yourself, rather than the camera choosing a value).Other techniques you can use to maximise this effect are to ensure that the object of interest is as far away from the background as possible (may be impossible with wildlife photos, but you can always ask people in a portrait to move!).The effect can be further emphasised by setting the camera to the highest zoom possible while standing as close to the object of interest as possible.Another option is to "cheat" and use image editing software such as Photoshop to apply a "blur" filter to your image background although this does not achieve quite the same effect as that produced by a camera as the blurring will be uniform across the background whereas in a real photo the blurring will vary depending on the distance of the background object from the point of focus.For more information please see the related links.
How would you discern a DSLR in comparison to an SLR?
Tough question. The best way is to use the same brand of camera with the same lens with both camera bodies and review each photo side by side. By far the biggest component in comparing SLRs with DSLRs is the image sensor in the DSLR. Assuming your using comparable cameras this is what to look for: Resolution, depth of field and color latitude are the biggest points of interest for photographers making the jump from SLR to DSLR. Resolution is easily tested by seeing at what point does the image get 'pixelated' (square blocks by zooming into the photo) Depth of Field (DOF) is the area in focus vs out of focus. Also known as bokeh. This is tested by using a fast lens (low aperture, f stop) which will create small/shallow depth of field. This can be difficult because a small vs large sensor is a big contributor to DOF. Latitude is tested by taking a photo of a color chart or a scene with dark and light objects. This will test the accuracy of the DSLRs sensor to color changes. Are the blacks black? Are some colors more bright then others? Does the DSLR favor certain colors over others? These tests will give you a great starting point when comparing SLRs with DSLRs. Too long, I know... :)
