Just my Regular Cup of Bokeh!
Today I decided to try this Bokeh effect, have seen it done online a couple of times and wanted to do it better. It's been my mind last couple of days & although I wanted to actually make a tribute to Spain today for taking the Euro Cup, somehow my mind was on getting this image done.
Took me about 15 mins to set up the frame to shoot. Tried to use different objects too like a vase, glass bowl and kept adjusting the settings on the Cam till I got this image.
Its very simple technique to do and I enjoyed every bit of it. Dad joined in too and became the Light assistant while i was behind the lens :D Thanks Dad!!
Due to Public Request, I have updated this article to explain further on the Bokeh Effects
Bokeh comes from the Japanese word 'Boke', meaning Blur or Haze & is used to describe the 'Out of Focus' area in an Image i.e An image where you have a subject in Focus (Mug) and the background blurred out (lights) is called Bokeh effect. Here, the Blurred background is pleasing while not distracting from the actual Subject.
Imagine your eye is the lens of the Camera, if you keep the palm of your hand close to your face and focus on it, you will notice that while you are focused on your subejct (Palm) the background is blurred and the further you move your palm away from your Eye & closer to the background, the clearer it gets. So Bokeh effect is caused when the subject is close to the lens of the camera and further away from the Background causing the background to Blur up.
Hope this helps! :)
