Photo Challenge... Day 20

bokeh

um. ya. boke-a-what???

Wikipedia says... In photographybokeh (play /ˈbkə/ boh-kə,[1] Japanese: [boke]) is the blur,[2][3] or the aesthetic quality of the blur,[4][5][6] in out-of-focus areas of an image, or "the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light."Bokeh is often most visible around small background highlights, such as specular reflections and light sources, which is why it is often associated with such areas.[2] However, bokeh is not limited to highlights; blur occurs in all out-of-focus regions of the image.


so it's the blurry-ness that happens when you have your camera set at a low f-stop... right?
that's one of my favorite things about my lens!  i love that you can set it as low as a 1.8!
i think it adds a lil' sometin' to the picture.

anyway...
here are my attempts





thanks for the use of your flowers mom!



this last one of jace is an old picture... from earlier this summer.
it shows more of the "light source" that i think the definition was referring to.
