Dit is de Engelse versie van de Zo doe ik dat- Bokeh.
This is the English version of Zo doe ik dat -Bokeh.

Bokeh is also called backgroundblur. You have some lights and make them onscharp. The lights will get round and you can give them a shape.



You can make the shape with paper. A dificult way to do that can you read on THIS site. It's a Dutch site, but each step has a picture.








A more easy way is to take a paper and cut the shape out of the paper.
You only need:
- paper
- pen (to draw you shape)
- stenleymes/scissors (to cut your shape)




Hint: Don't make the shape to big, because then the shape of the lights will get less obvious.

What do you have to do:
- Hang up the lights
- Put your camara a few meters from te lights
- Camara on manual focus
- Zoom in as far as possible
- Make the lights onscharp so they get round and big
-  Set the diaphragm as large as possible (small f-number)
- Hold your paper with the shape close to your lens

If you want an object in front of the bokeh-lights make sure you have enough space between the lights and te object so your bokeh gets large.

Tips:
- Large lights give obscure shapes. Christmas lights are perfect to use!
- Try to zoom in as far as posible, you will get large rounds.
- Try diferent disstances between camara, object and ligths.




 Here are some photo's I made with bokeh: http://senna15.blogspot.nl/2012/12/bokeh.html

Some inspiration photo's (I didn't make this):


 

Nog meer bezig geweest met bokeh, misschien kunnen je er nog inspiratie uit op halen. Het lijkt mij heel leuk, als je ermee aan de slag gaan, om je resultaat te zien!

Nu heb ik iets leuk ontdekt! Het wordt bokeh of backgroundblur genoemt. Je kan er hele leuke foto's mee maken. De basis ervan is dat er in de achtergrond onderscherpe lichtjes zijn waar je vormpjes in kan maken.
