In photography, a Bokeh is the blurred or out of focus background in a photo. I’ve achieved this affect many times by setting the camera to aperture priority or by using a telephoto lens for taking close ups of birds or flowers. I never knew there was a name for this effect until I read Sophia’s challenge Lens’Artists #194: Bokeh
For Sofia’s challenge I chose a few images of this year’s spring blossoms from around my yard.




Thanks to Sophia for the challenge Lens’Artists #194: Bokeh
Love your natural creativeness by getting bokeh effects without even knowing it. 👍😊

I love the Bokeh. It looks so beautiful. It’s a relatively new word for me, too. Although, I’ve long admired the effect.

Lovely images Beth – and it seems your garden is glorious – especially to a non-gardener like me! You may not have known the name but you surely know how to create it!

Thanks Tina! Thankfully all these flowers come back every year. I’m way behind in planting seeds and new plants this year.
