I'm new to this, but is this bokeh, or merely out of focus shizzle?

Top right, those little 'bubbles' of light are definitely bokeh! :D

[quote="Raymond Lin, post: 17454290"]ok, how's this? :p[/QUOTE]

I think you got the art down to a tee mate :p

[quote="chrisxuk, post: 17476879"]Would this be classed as "Bokeh"?

If you look to the right of the glass... See those little 'bubbles'? That'd be bokeh, as it's out of focus [U]points of light[/U], IE. where light is being reflected into the lens whilst being out of focus :)

Guess it depends on your take. I have never heard it being limited to "out of focus points of light" based on what some random stuck on Wikipedia :)

I guess so. I mean, if you want to be pedantic, it just refers to the quality of the out-of-focus parts of an image, but generally when people talk about bokeh, they'll be talking about OoF points of light, such as those in Raymond's excellent examples.

I disagree. My finding has always been that they are talking about the OOF areas of any image ;)

agreed. Most reviews i have read on lenses have also just referred to the creaminess of the background when referring to bokeh.
