“bokeh”
is a Japanese word that refers to an area of a photograph that is deliberately out of focus
How you ask??
1) Frame the subject so there is an interesting background, including several small light sources (like bits of sunlight filtered through many leaves) (Fairylights in the distant background).
2) Stand Far enough away from your object so you can use the maximum zoom on your lens.
3) Use the Lowest possible aperture (lowest f/number).
4) Making sure your Focal Point is in crisp focus, snap away
5) Keep experimenting with lighting, composition and distance from the object until you get it right
Activity 1:
1) Create your own Bokeh image similar to the images below.
2) Choose your best two images, edit these further in photoshop
3) Submit these photos to a new page of your website titled 'Bokeh' with a subheading Activity 1
