Going for brokeh

going for brokeh (Project365 20080116)

I’ve been reading up on bokeh, and if I’ve understood what I’ve read so far, then according to Ken Rockwell, that top polygon in the background is an example of bad bokeh, the one below it is neutral, and the blue one below those two is the best-shaped one of the three.

Is that right? I’m not sure. In any case, that’s what I was trying to do here. So no comments about the photo of Santa Cruzan Mango Rum with Bailey’s Irish Cream in the background. Or the fact that this picture of bottles of alcohol was taken before 9am today. They’re just props. Really, they are.

Honest.

  1. I don’t know if it was intentional, but it’s really cool that the bottle has a little oval and the bokeh has little ovals.

    Was it intentional? If so, then I’m even more impressed than I would be if it wasn’t intentional!

  2. I read a bit about bokeh, but I guess I didn’t read enough. I thought it was just the art of blurring the background on purpose, but I guess it is more than that if there is good and bad bokeh!
