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.

  • Nikon D3s Menu Settings for Sports Photographers
    Nikon D3s Menu Settings for Sports Photographers Whether at the ballpark or via email, two of the most frequently asked questions I hear are “what are your basic settings when shooting sports using the Nikon D3s” or “how is your Nikon D3s set up? I’ve been shooting sports for a living for over 25 years, with clients ranging from Sports Illustrated to Major League Baseball and The Chicago White Sox. The approach I use when setting up with my equipment might not be considered conventional, but I can tell you this; it works. I refer to it as my unscientific approach to better sports photography. I trust and believe in what works in the real world. I’m always open to new ideas and so should you. If your images are already perfect, stop here. But if you shoot sports action and are looking for ways to improve your images and increase your "keeper percentage", or are setting up a Nikon D3s for the first time, read on. I decided to dissect the menu of my trusty D3s and share my personal settings while discussing a few in detail so that other sports photographers can use them as a point of reference. As the old adage goes, please remember that these are my own personal settings and opinions and should be used as a guide only. No one set of rules (or in this case, settings) should be considered the absolute only way to go. I highly recommend taking the time to experiment and come up with a few of your own favorites.

The grey cloud is low, and the rain is steady, but the muted light is just perfect for the subject matter all around me, namely waves lapping around the artfully sculpted blocks of ice on the black sand. Now I’ve seen many images of this unique combination before – it’s an Icelandic photographic staple – but there’s no resisting the appeal of such stark, elemental beauty. In fact it’s a beauty that is enhanced by the flat lighting, a cold scene of black and blue with simple graphic appeal. But as so often is the case here in Iceland the conditions are difficult: apart from the rain, salty spray is being driven inshore off the waves and onto my increasingly crusty camera, lens and filter. So be it, such adversity is now familiar.
