So what is this "bokeh" ...
Well it's not about that new movie or Python library.
The Bokeh i want to post and resteem is  and i quote wikipedia for this :  "Bokeh is the aesthetic quality of the blur produced in the out-of-focus parts of an image produced by a lens. 
Bokeh has been defined as "the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light" "

on the picture below you can see the light circles caused by the highlights but  like wikipedia says : "Bokeh is often most visible around small background highlights, such as specular reflections and light sources, which is why it is often associated with such areas. However, bokeh is not limited to highlights; blur occurs in all out-of-focus regions of the image. "
source : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bokeh

Sony A6000 + helios 44-2 58mm 

in the second picture the bokeh gives a different view to the picture  and is not about light bubbles.

Sony A6000 + helios 44-2 58mm + 16mm extension tube

you see this also very often in portrait ,flower and macro photography some samples :)

Sony A700 + Rokkor50mm 1.7 1/2000 iso 2000 f1.7

Sony A6000 + rokkor 50mm 1.7 

the last one clearly shows a different bokeh on the highlights , each lens shows different shapes , and you can actually manipulated that if you would use  a filter with a template in front of your lens so that you would not  circles but shapes of a heart for example. 

i personally love to play with bokeh in my photography i collected some nice  lenses for it :
Rokkor 50mm 1.7 
Rokkor 135mm 2.8 
Rokkor 28mm 3.5
helios 44-2 58mm f2
Jupiter-9 85mm f2
cctv 25mm 1.4
Sigma 105mm 2.8 macro

Good explanation @bokeh. Almost done like Kai Wong ;) Upvoted, resteemed, followed & DPS.

Please state clearly in the comments how would you like to be featured in the “Daily Photo Selection”: with a linked photo, or with link only without a photo. We are making a list of photographers who are ready to improve the visibility of their work through the DPS.
