Bokeh is the little out-of-focus circles in the background of a photo.
As the ancient saying goes, if you ain't got 2.8 you ain't got no bokeh. Sucka.
edit: for those whose gray matter is drowning in brown matter, let me make clear i am not declaring the final definition of anything - merely stirring the pot.

Confucious say: Don't fix it if it ain't bokeh! :)

Post a link. You can't expect us to scroll back through 13 weeks of challenges to Bokeh II. |

I ask this in all seriousness - is that how you would describe bokeh? I have been wondering for a long time now and still have no idea what bokeh means.

Yeah that's how I would describe it.
edit:
this is not the best example, but you can sort of make them out

I think we all agree that something needs to be out of focus... ;-)
Screw a subject, I'm going for nothing but Bokeh :-)

Ok I see circles.
I think I should at least be able to get the OOF part, no problem. :)

Fotoman is just trying to start an argument. He knows full well that out-of-focus does not equal bokeh... |

I'm thinking about all the times I have commented "nice bokeh!" when i had no clue what I was talking about.
So just go with OOF circles and all will be well right? lol

Ok it's not a duck but a goose.
It's also bokeh @ f-5.6

The funny thing is, this shot, which has them "little circles" (also f/4), did much worse in Bokeh III.

Hey, new here...but not to photography. Bokeh is the OOF area often with circles. To get the perfect circles you need to shoot wide open, otherwise the shapes start to look like hexagons (not as pleasing to the eye)
Here's my example...not too many circles but I think overall nice bokeh.  |
|

actually here's an example of the hexagon bokeh... To me it's just not about the circles, it's how creamy and pleasant an OOF background is, but the "definitions" that I can find point towards the circles.
