Bokeh, a matter of opinion

 Bokeh (from the Japanese blur or haze) refers to the aesthetic quality of the out-of-focus areas in a photograph. It’s not about how blurred the background is (that’s simply “shallow depth of field”) but rather how that blur looks — whether it’s smooth and pleasing or harsh and distracting.

Camera NewB just posted a video exploring this important photography concept in today’s world. I highly recommend checking it out.
