        bokeh generally = background blurriness / unfocus

        see sunflower pic up there, "smooth" bokeh
        some quality lenses optimized for smooth bokeh
        though this is all very subjective

        sometimes a lens will have a "sweet spot", a particular f stop that gives very nice bokeh

        wanna see bokeh porn? google leica noctilux bokeh

          I liked that pic until you said it was a bit harsh, now I can't look at it without the background dominating 😃 😃

          Yeah - that 4th pic is really shit . . . but at least it makes the others look better in comparison . . .

          It's probably best to get jaco to critique all your work before posting 😃

            Very nice Finn…...and I have to agree with Jaco, the Bokeh on the Sunflowers is more soothing to the eye.

            Some Bokeh on my behalf:

                ^ Oh yeah…it's lovely, also depending on what lens you use, the Bokeh becomes creamier and creamier, haha.  There's threads on Photog and Shoe Forums just for pics with Bokeh.

                      alright now you feckers
                      critique sounds like a negative thing
                      when just discussing and comparing…

                      anyway, yes you can get into bokeh talk
                      much the same as discussion of Japanese denim and fades etc
                      it can get deep...

                      Cris understands, seeing lots of nice bokeh from your pics

                        ^ Thanks Jaco…my last pic with the webs, I didn't even know what Bokeh was, I was just testing out a 50mm 1.8 on a crop body, and it came out pretty cool.

                          nice pics Finn, as always
                          3 posts up, all same lens?
                          the sunflower pic has smooth, pleasant bokeh
                          but the 4th one (not sure, is that a grass or wheat?) bokeh is a bit harsh
                          perhaps just the web downsizing
                          always enjoy seeing your pics
                          thanks for posting

                          yap all the posts on this site are taking with the same lens (just have one btw 😃 !)…
                          yeah the background may be a bit harsh, but cuz the focus is just on the front, the back is totally blownout...

                          thanks for the nice words guys 😘

                          yeah might really have to do this :D…but as i hosted the pic i really didn`t see that the bokeh on the pic was so messed up.
                          just was watching the front part of the pic, where actually all the focus be on 🙂

                                    Here's another I forgot, just edited:
