Thanks Dave, my google instincts must be lacking something!
can i add to this with another question? How on earth do you pronounce it???
is it b-oh-k-eh (with the eh like an eh as apposed to an ay type sound)
ive just noticed trying to type that question was really quite difficult! lol
Bocker does it for me, though personally I don't like the expression. Why do we need to use a Japanese term to describe the OOF area of a photograph?
because its easier to say "nice Bokeh" than "the area that is intentionally out of focus works really well" ?well thats my take on it.
