49/52 Christmas Bokeh
December 14, 2010In photography, bokeh (pronounced BO-kuh) is the blur, or the aesthetic quality of the blur, in out-of-focus areas of an image, or “the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light.” It’s what lends a 3D affect to photos, when your subject is crisp and clear in front of a blurred background. Now we haven’t seen Lucas lately in the 52 Week Project, so I thought I’d snap a quick one of him in front of the tree. I shot this photo at an f/1.4.
I adore my red and white lights!

Thanks ladies! Trudy, he was about 3 or 4 feet in front of the tree, and I used my 50 mm lens :)

If you mind me asking, what was your ISO setting?
