Bokeh
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In photography, bokeh (/ˈboʊkeɪ/ BOH-kay;[1] Japanese: [boke]) is the aesthetic quality of the blur produced in the out-of-focus parts of an image produced by a lens.[2][3][4] Bokeh has been defined as "the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light".[5] 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).[6] 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.[6] However, bokeh is not limited to highlights; blur occurs in all out-of-focus regions of the image.

Bokeh
Origem: Wikipédia, a enciclopédia livre.
Bokeh (do japonês boke ぼけ, "blur") é um termo usado na fotografia referente às áreas fora de foco e distorcidas, produzidas por lentes fotográficas.[1] Diferentes bokehs de lentes produzem efeitos estéticos separados em fundos desfocados, os quais são freqüentemente utilizados para reduzir distrações e enfatizar o assunto primário.
