boke (暈け or ボケ)

The term comes from the Japanese word boke (暈け or ボケ), which means "blur" or "haze", or boke-aji (ボケ味), the "blur quality". 

The Japanese term boke is also used in the sense of a mental haze or senility. The term bokashi (暈かし) is related, meaning intentional blurring or gradation.

The quality of the blur has come to be known as “bokeh”.

 








Bokeh in terms of photography referring the area in the photo which are out of focus light to increase beautiful and dramatic image.

The origin of the term is from the Japanese word “romaji” (english characters) is spelled “boke” (pronounced bo-keh) and which means “fuzzy”. 

For good Bokeh, ideally points and lines would blur smoothly as they fell out of focus, in the manner, for example, of a smooth Gaussian blurring.

There are many ways to attack photography and some are much more expensive than others.

Here we talking about photography of Specific form named as “Bokeh Photography” which I find usually amaze me.

 If you know how to shoot a photo then you can also change something fairly simple to something creative or abstract or otherwise more artistic. 

You don’t need any special skills for taking such shots. It all depends on the environment and perfect timing.

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.

In photography, bokeh (Originally pron.: /ˈboʊkɛl, pron.: /ˈboʊkeɪ/ boh-kay — also sometimes heard as pron.: /ˈboʊkə/ boh-kə, Japanese: [boke]) is the blur, or the aesthetic quality of the blur, in out-of-focus areas of an image.

Bokeh has been defined as "the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light". 

However, differences in lens aberrations and aperture shape cause some lens designs to blur the image in a way that is pleasing to the eye, while others produce blurring that is unpleasant or distracting—"good" and "bad" bokeh, respectively.

Bokeh occurs for parts of the scene that lie outside the depth of field.

Photographers sometimes deliberately use a shallow focus technique to create images with prominent out-of-focus regions.

Bokeh is often most visible around small background highlights, such as specular reflections and light sources, which is why it is often associated with such areas. 

However, bokeh is not limited to highlights; blur occurs in all out-of-focus regions of the image.

The English spelling bokeh was popularized in 1997 in Photo Techniques magazine, when Mike Johnston, the editor at the time, commissioned three papers on the topic for the March/April 1997 issue; he altered the spelling to suggest the correct pronunciation to English speakers, saying "it is properly pronounced with bo as in bone and ke as in Kenneth, with equal stress on either syllable". 

The spellings bokeh and boke have both been in use at least since 1996, when Merklinger had suggested "or Bokeh if you prefer." 

The term bokeh has appeared in photography books at least since 1998. It is sometimes pronounced /ˈboʊkə/ (boke-uh).
