Uploaded: July 31, 2007

Description

EFP: Bokeh (from the Japanese boke ぼけ, "blur") is a photographic term referring to the appearance of out-of-focus areas in an image produced by a camera lens. Different lens bokeh produces different aesthetic qualities in out-of-focus backgrounds, which are often used to reduce distractions and emphasize the primary subject.



Exif: F Number: 5.6, Exposure Bias Value: +0, Exposure Time: 1/320, Flash: flash did not fire, ISO: 400, White Balance: auto white balance, Focal Length: 135mm, Camera Model: Canon EOS 30D

Amy, your DOF is amazing! Monet would be proud with all those soft purples in the background. Beautifully done! #709368

Thanks so much, Michelle. We have a riverbank nearby that offers a nice backdrop of color in the summer. Many of my butterfly shots are from this location. #4619148

You have a great gallery, Amy! I love your butterfly photos. I am jealous!...No, not really. I think butterflies are very difficult to get and admire people who can get them! I don't seem to have any at home and when I go the the Butterfly Pavillion it is either too humid and and get too hot or there is too many little kids running around and having fun chasing them - or both. Plus we can't take tripods into the Pavillion. HOwever I did get away with a monopod the last time I went and fared better. #4918893
