What is bokeh photography?

Photography Techniques

Generally, the shape of the bokeh is determined by the aperture blades, which can be round, hexagonal or other shapes. But we can also make different bokeh shapes, just need the following things: 1. Camera lens (preferably a large aperture lens); 2. Cardboard; 3. Tape.

First draw the shape you want on cardboard and then cut it out. Then, tape the cardboard to the front of the lens, keeping the hole cut out in the center of the lens. Take a few test shots and you'll notice that the shape of the bokeh changes into a cardboard cutout. Isn’t it interesting? You can also try this method and shoot your own unique and personalized bokeh works. Bokeh is a very interesting concept. The quality of bokeh is not a universal concept. The purpose of introducing bokeh photography in photography schools is to introduce this concept. As for the quality of the lens, the brand is not what is important here. It is emphasized that the equipment mentioned in the article should not be your goal.
