BOKEH

I was playing around on Flickr and kept coming across this word Bokeh so finally my curiosity got the better of me and I googled it. According to Wikipedia bokeh is

"In photography, bokeh is the æsthetic quality of the out-of-focus areas of an image.Differences in lens aberrations and aperture shape cause some lens designs to blur the image in a way that is pleasing to the eye, while others produce blurring that is unpleasant or distracting— "good" or "bad" bokeh, respectively.Bokeh occurs for parts of the scene that lie outside the depth of field. Photographers sometimes deliberately use a shallow focus technique to create images with prominent out-of-focus regions."

I sort of thought bokeh was a Jewish star (it seems a lot of example pictures use this though) but now I realize its just that cool blur effect I never had a word for but really liked.

Here are a few of my pictures of bokeh. I think this generally happens unintentionally. I took these pictures one day on a walk behind my house, along the golf course.
