Bokeh in the background



'Bokeh' is one of the most exciting element in photography. Bokeh  is similar to blur. You can get bokeh by keeping something unfocused at less f stop number(aperture). Bokehs will seem very exciting when you have subject, and the background is blurred(out of focus). 

For bokeh to appear you need to have some light source behind your subject. When these light sources are out of focus, it will cause bokeh. In these pictures, my light source was sunlight passing through patterned leaves and trees. Your source may be natural like sunlight or artificial like small bulbs. You can even avoid bokeh. You can do this by setting your camera to larger F stop number(aperture). This will actually reduce the blur.

It is better to have bokeh when you are shooting pictures of flowers, small objects or products. If you haven't heard and known about bokeh, then give it a try!
