Focus and Bokeh


How far can you go to achieve perfect focus and bokeh in your shot?

Bokeh means the extent to which the background of the photo gets blurred. With a wide aperture, you achieve the best possible blurriness. But another workaround is by composing the shot such that your background is far away from the subject.

This shot was taken way back in 2011 on the terrace of my home. I was practicing photography using my newly bought Nikon D3000 and concentrated on tweaking the aperture and shutter speed in Manual mode. And these bent wire grills provided a very good subject to capture. In an instant, I composed the shot and clicked and results were quite satisfactory.

Over the years, Ken Rockwell's website provided me the best tips for photography and you should check it as well. No, I am not an affliate of Ken Rockwell. But his website sure can provide ideas and tips to make the long journey of a DSLR photographer interesting. Because even with the cheapest DSLR and kit lens, you can achieve beautiful shots. The picture above is an example.
