Bokeh = sparkles?

alm In reply to alm [2010-01-13 00:47:49 +0000 UTC]

Ahh, bokeh = a trick in photography where one part of the photo is in focus and the rest isn't, so attention is drawn to the subject. That out-of-focus area is called bokeh?

Jules1983 In reply to alm [2010-01-13 13:38:26 +0000 UTC]

Those out of focus, ball-shaped thingies in the background are called bokeh. I've seen heart-shaped ones too

alm In reply to Jules1983 [2010-01-13 13:55:17 +0000 UTC]

Oooh wonder how that's done?!

Must be something heart shaped and reflective, like sequins or something.
