40 Beautiful Examples of Bokeh Photography
I’m sure most of you have heard of the term bokeh. Basically it is referring to the aesthetic quality of the blur produced from a shot with shallow depth of field. Determining factors of bokeh are things like lens aberrations and shape of lens aperture.
Bokeh is a very subjective thing. Its hard to say what is “good” bokeh and what is “bad”. In my opinion anything that is less distracting and adds something to the image would be considered good and anything distracting or confusing to the image would be considered bad. Based on that I have gathered some examples of what I think is beautiful bokeh photography.

February 2ndin bokeh photography we should concentrate more on the subject n the selection of the subject..the more attractive or unusual the subject, it will b more interesting for the viewers to view the pic.. due to the blurred foreground the subject will b focused more..loved the pic AgniMax..

March 3rdThis isn’t “bokeh”. Bokeh is the QUALITY and PROPERTIES of the blur effect. Quit talking about it like bokeh is the effect itself.

March 4thI agree. You did read my second sentence didn’t you? As far as referring to that type of photography as “Bokeh”, I guess I could have put “Really Sweet Looking Shallow Depth of Field Photography”.
