BOKEH PHOTOGRAPHY

Now bokeh is the most calming and soothing photography according to me but others opinions may vary…. no fault there. Let me tell you what it is and how is it done in simple terms.

Bokeh is the blur produced due to out of focus parts of your image produced by the lens. It is effectively and efficiently done at night where you have a lot of individual light sources. For example: a street, a footpath, a garden, an event etc.

SEE HOW THE BLURRED LIGHTS PRODUCE A MESMERIZING EFFECT

HOW IS IT DONE YOU SAY??….

Well, all you need is a tripod and your camera (DSLR) and of course your lens ( any lens may do but results may vary ). For non tripod owners dont worry…. there are a lot of ways you can also do bokeh without a tripod. The function of the tripod is to keep your camera EXTREMELY STILL. So you need to find a spot where your image has preferably at least 4 single light sources and you can keep your camera there no need to hold it just keep it at that spot.

Now, you wont be able to get the perfect shot in one go all’right you need to take some shots (dont start drinking because you will start seeing bokeh but your camera wont…).

PREFERRED SETTINGS : (ADJUSTABLE ACCORDING TO YOUR SITUATION)

What comes into play is the shutter speed. So switch your camera to SHUTTER PRIORITY MODE (Tv)

• shutter speed should be in the range of 3 to 7 seconds.
• exposure will be over to you but usually a 2 is advisable.
• ISO will be 3200 to 12800.

NOW I AM AGAIN TELLING YOU THAT ALL OF THE ABOVE MENTONED SETTINGS CAN CHANGE OR VARY ACCORDING TO YOU SCENARIO. SO GO ON EXPERIMENTING UNTIL YOU GET THE PERFECT SHOT.

THERE ARE MANY TYPES OF BOKEH…..i.e. YOU CAN GET MANY EFFECTS JUST BY USING HOMEMADE APPARATUS:

Hey guys this is my first post. This will be about me and my best friend.

 Hey friends!! I’m excited to share my first post on my first blog, so don’t start judging me so quickly okay…. just joking.

Let me introduce you to my best friend. The Canon 1200D. I know its a beginners camera and all. But what it can do is as good as a professional level camera.

It came with a 50 – 250 mm lens and the standard 55 mm. Now the thing is the 250 mm is the one you can use for all types of photography but the 55 mm can be only used for portraits.

So something about me. I am currently pursuing photography as my core subject in college. I don’t like to stick to one type of photography forever. I THINK ITS A DRAG TO STICK TO JUST ONE TYPE OF PHOTOGRAPHY. But i’m not saying you should do the same. What i meant is you should learn one type of photography, practice it, perfect it and then use it for some time. Once you are thorough, move on to second. Again im not being pushy. You can stick to one type….no harm there. I do this because i love it. And ONCE YOU GET INTO THIS THERE IS NO STOPPING…. YOU NEVER STOP LEARNING UNTIL YOU GIVE UP THAT CAMERA BUT YOU KNOW YOUR BODY AND MIND WILL RESIST!!!

Never believe the fact that “A PHOTOGRAPHER IS ONLY AS GOOD AS HIS CAMERA”. Now i agree that a higher level camera does add that graphic finish to a click what entry level cameras cannot but that only counts as 30% of the image quality. The rest 70% is you pal. Your talent adds a fine touch to your click too.

But what am i to say. I’m just some amateur photographer ( you might not even call me that on your first time reading this ) blogging about whatever i know about cameras and photography. But the most beautiful thing about photography besides the mesmerizing photos that you can click is that photography does not define photographer. The photographer defines photography.

So that’s about it i guess. Until next time.
