1 . Use a large aperture
Bokeh comes from the lens instead of the camera . Therefore , the
most important thing to do is set your lens aperture to the large
aperture ( largest allowable shooting situations – the maximum aperture )
. You can do this using Aperture Priority mode and change into a
smallest value f ( rotate the aperture ring anticlockwise )
In this setting we practically lose depth of field being shallow / superficial .
2 . Reduce the distance between the camera and the object image
The closer we stand of the object image , the blur background. The
closer the object image , focusing lens is also getting closer and depth
of field to be narrowed . Try to do this : Hold your index finger near
the glass away approximately 50 cm in front of you , focus your eyes on
the index , the index was closer now move your eyes . The closer the
index to the eye , behind the glass will increasingly blurred instead ?
3 . Keep the distance between the object and its background
When you take pictures of objects , animals or friends and want to
produce a nice bokeh , the more distant the friend of the background
behind them , the better you get bokeh . Look at the photo below, leaves
the closest camera still looks sharp . But getting away from the camera
, the more blurred . While the leaves with green blurry back there once
.
4. Use the longest focal length.
When you use a zoom lens, use the longest focal length to further
separate the main object with the background. For example: when you use
death lens 70-200 mm, set at a position 200mm focal length to produce a
nice bokeh. Read again the focal length
If stored in your bag 300mm lens, 18-200mm lens, 14-24mm lens, choose
the longest lens (300mm) if your goal is to produce images beautiful
bokeh.
5. Select the best optical quality lens you can afford to buy.
Bokeh quality is also greatly influenced by the optical quality of
the lens that we use. Let’s say you can have two lenses at maximum focal
length, eg lens and lens 18-20mm/f5.6 70-200mm/f2.8, because the
optical quality of the lens 70-200mm (usually) far superior to the
18-200mm lens (so the price is also many times more expensive). Then use
the 70-200mm lens was, and as much as possible wear on the aperture
f/2.8.
6 . Use prime lens
Because the bigger the aperture the better the bokehnya , if you have a
prime lens , wear . Prime lens or a prime lens or fixed lens , is a lens
that has a single focal length lens alias that can not be zoom . Prime
lens usually produces a very nice bokeh photo because it has a very
large aperture opening , the PRIME is typical 50mm f/1.4 lens , 85mm
f/1.4 or 50mm f/1.8 variants and cheapness 85mm f/1.8 .
