Have you checked out our cool light photography category
Bokeh? Bokeh refers to blurred areas of a photo where only a certain
portion of the image is in focus. It’s a very unique and beautiful effect
that’s fun to experiment with. The holidays are a great time to experiment with Bokeh with all the fun festive lights hung up. Here are some tips on how to create a Bokeh
effect:
- Make sure the room you are
shooting is dark and not too bright to get a better effect. - Turn off your flash (the
lightning bolt looking icon)
- Select the Macro setting
(the flower looking icon on your camera, see macro tutorial for more info.) - Stand a few feet away from
some lights. (Any kind of Holiday lights work well) - Hold your finger out in
front of your camera and hold the shutter button down halfway so your
finger is in focus. (Remember not to press the shutter button all the way down) - Now your camera is focused on the object in front of
you and the lights are blurred in the back. Take your finger away from the
shot and press the shutter button all the way down.
SLR Cameras:
- Set your camera to AV mode.
- Select the smallest possible aperture. (f) number should be
<f/4 - Place and object in the foreground and focus on that object
so the background of lights is blurred out. - Press the shutter and voila you should see hexagonal shapes
on the background.
and taping it to the lens of your camera. Test shapes, hearts, stars, anything
you want to see in blurred lights.
