Barbed and Bokeh-ed
This is one of the best photos I’ve taken. Hasn’t even been photoshopped – just adjusted brightness and contrast, straight from a very limited but sturdy point and shoot, digital camera.
What’s Bokeh?
Bokeh is the term used to desribe the quality of background blur in a photo, i.e. how pleasing the blur looks. Since the softness of the background blur is usually more important than how the foreground items are blurred, bokeh usually relates to the background blur.
In other words, the more out of focus the background is, the more blurred, the better the bokeh.
So, as you all know, I am a Flickr addict. So, naturally, I search for some good Bokeh photos and resources on Flickr. And guess what I found, a while back?
Flickr: Bokeh – Smooth and Silky
And, here’s the point of this entire post. Two of my own photos, the Barbed wire photo above, and the Dice below, were deemed Bokeh So Nice and was featured in a big slideshow of Bokeh-ed photos. Damn! I am awesome a photographer.

Rakesh – Intelligent spam filter I have. it see which comment are nakkal parties’ comment and which are genuine. And that’s why your comment got spammed. OK?
Plus, I do have a good camera. Quite a sturdy, effective one. But it is limited in many ways. And that’s where the photographer (ME) makes the difference.
