Happy Christmas!<\/p>\n

\"BOKEH-xmas\"<\/a>What did you find wrapped up under the Christmas tree? If you got a shiny new tripod or a lovely new lens then here\u2019s a great photo technique that\u2019s absolutely perfect for today.<\/p>\n

Bokeh or background blur as it\u2019s also known, is a simple technique to achieve and the results can me amazing. In the video I go in to plenty of detail so you\u2019ll get a thorough understanding of how it all works and what camera setting work best.<\/p>\n

As you can see from the final photo, you can get very creative with bokeh. To give you some inspiration, check out the bokeh group on Flickr http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/groups\/88081697@N00\/<\/a><\/p>\n

I\u2019d love to know if you use this technique and get a great photo, especially if you\u2019ve never tried it before. Upload your photo to Flickr or Facebook (or wherever you post your photos) and leave your link in the comments below.<\/p>\n
