So... today I went to a short recording to provide some still photography and mainly "making of" snappies.

Thoughts?

lets start with this one
the purpose of bokeh is to draw attention to the subject.

what's the point on focusing on her hand and the bottom of the handle?

blurry background =! insta art

So, there's some kind of photography rulebook out there?

I wasn't trying to be "artsy" or anything (actually, I'm not happy artistically with almost the whole set, but it wasn't supposed to be artistic photography anyway), I was just playing with focus a little.

Anyway, here's one more "normal".

I think you BOTH fail to understand photography.

Faster lens = larger aperture = reduced DOF = more bokeh.

Now get back to trolling /b/, faggots.

Oh shit, for some reason I thought they were saying it needed more bokeh.

Ignore my ramblings, you were quite correct. MORE DOF (more in focus) requires a smaller aperture + longer exposure, yes.

My statement is still correct, however! :p

Same here. Like the "more vignetting" joke.

OUT of focus is very good for images being used as backgrounds in publications etc.

I also lol, whilst stroking the pile of paycheques I receive regularly from my local police force in return for designing their training manuals and public advertising materials.

I have no professional graphic design training, but I see what the guy means: blurred backgrounds would be useful in design for the same reason they're sometimes useful in a photograph: they remove details that would otherwise be distracting. It's a lot easier to integrate a blur of color into a design than a few trees, a parking lot, and some cars in it. (For instance, that's obviously not the background here.)

or you could keep everything in focus and let the designer blur it himself

no one gives a fuck other than us

98% of people don't even know what bokeh is, they won't see a damn difference
