Bokeh has been defined as "the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light".[6] However, 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" and "bad" bokeh, respectively.[2] Bokeh occurs for parts of the scene that lie outside the Coarse bokeh on a photo shot with an 85 mm lens and 70 mm entrance pupil diameter, which depth of field.

Bokeh is often most visible around small background highlights, such as specular reflections and light sources, which is why it is often associated with such areas.[2] However, bokeh is not limited to highlights; blur occurs in all out-of-focus regions of the image.

  • Kodak Ektachrome Pro Infrared EIR Film
    First Exposure Kodak Ektachrome Professional Infrared EIR Film Kodak EIR show with #12 yellow filter. If there is any film that truly defines the difference between the "art" and the "science" of photography, it has to be Kodak's Ektachrome Infrared IE. This film became popular for scientific docu- mentation and for those who wanted to capture unique color variations of the norm on transparency film. This film was processed in E-4 chemistry, and Kodak continued to manufacture it al- though they switched other Ekta- chromes to the E-6 process. After consid- erable prodding from photographers, Kodak finally decided to upgrade to Ektachrome Infrared EIR film, an E-6- process film. This pleased many large format photographers who used infrared film for aerial, commercial and scientific studies. To satisfy the 35mm users, Kodak now cuts the large manu- EIR shot with #12 filter, scanned and reversed in Photoshop. factured rolls down to a 35mm perfo- rated version called Ektachrome Pro- fessional Infrared EIR film. This is the first positive infrared film that can be processed in either E-6 or AR-5 process- es. [Note: AR-5 is an Eastinan Kodak pro- cess intermediary between E-4 and E-6 that produces less contrast than E-6 and is pri- marily designed for aerial photographers— we think tlie "AR" actually stands for Aerial Reconnaissance, although no one will con- finn that. AR-5 cheimstry is still sold by Kodak, but the company no longer offers the process as a service; see below—Ed.

  • The Essential Reference Guide for Filmmakers
    THE ESSENTIAL REFERENCE GUIDE FOR FILMMAKERS IDEAS AND TECHNOLOGY IDEAS AND TECHNOLOGY AN INTRODUCTION TO THE ESSENTIAL REFERENCE GUIDE FOR FILMMAKERS Good films—those that e1ectively communicate the desired message—are the result of an almost magical blend of ideas and technological ingredients. And with an understanding of the tools and techniques available to the filmmaker, you can truly realize your vision. The “idea” ingredient is well documented, for beginner and professional alike. Books covering virtually all aspects of the aesthetics and mechanics of filmmaking abound—how to choose an appropriate film style, the importance of sound, how to write an e1ective film script, the basic elements of visual continuity, etc. Although equally important, becoming fluent with the technological aspects of filmmaking can be intimidating. With that in mind, we have produced this book, The Essential Reference Guide for Filmmakers. In it you will find technical information—about light meters, cameras, light, film selection, postproduction, and workflows—in an easy-to-read- and-apply format. Ours is a business that’s more than 100 years old, and from the beginning, Kodak has recognized that cinema is a form of artistic expression. Today’s cinematographers have at their disposal a variety of tools to assist them in manipulating and fine-tuning their images. And with all the changes taking place in film, digital, and hybrid technologies, you are involved with the entertainment industry at one of its most dynamic times. As you enter the exciting world of cinematography, remember that Kodak is an absolute treasure trove of information, and we are here to assist you in your journey.
