Achieving Bokeh

Happy Valentine’s Day to those of you that celebrate it. My mom got a yummy ice cream cake from BR. I had actually just told her she didn’t need to get those for my birthday any more because they hadn’t been that good but they changed things up on this one.

I have recently discovered Tracy’s Trinkets and Treasures, I believe through iheartfaces. Tracy gives some great photography tips. Not that I understand them all. It was suggested I check out the Dummies book for my camera.

Tracy is having a Bokeh party and I think I have some pictures that fulfill Bokeh. She explains what Bokeh is as well. 

I have shared this picture before, but apparently I achieved Bokeh without even trying (see how the flowers pop because the background is all blurry?). It’s too bad I don’t know how I did it. January 15, 2011

Today my son gave me some pink carnations. I played around trying to achieve Bokeh here and I think I might have done okay.

I also used some editing in Picnik to achieve Bokeh on this picture. 006

  1. You did get it!!! Thanks so much for trying and linking. I use to get bokeh without knowing it all the time or how I did it. That orange tiger lily in one of my posts about bokeh was pure accident! What a sweet son you have.

  3. You did a great job achieving bokeh without even trying! ;) That was funny! Your flowers are all so pretty. I wish I was better at growing orchids.

  6. So beautiful, Alicia! I've been wanting to learn bokeh but my brother said it's in the lens. Now I'm giving hints to hubby so I can have more powerful lens for my Nikon this year :)
