bokeh is too "slang" for a begginer in my opinion. and its not exactly a photographic term. sa mga lumang books di mo makikita masyado tong word na to. in tagalog pag blurred part ng picture ito. or out of focus. ex. background na blurred.
i remember my film days, not too long ago kasi 17 ako nun nagfilm ako.(10yrs ago un hehe.. tanda ko na.) i like the prime 85mm or 105 lenses for portraitures.were talking about portraitures right? and not whole body portraits? avoid distracting backgrounds kunwari portraits outdoor, make sure na the subject is the focus. kung indoor, bounce your flash. beginer so malamang wala pang studio lights.
