Sometimes you just need a little bokeh….{Northern Virginia Photographer}

Sometimes I like to add a little razzle dazzle to some photos. I love Bokeh (that blurry goodness that is in the background when you lover the f-stop on your camera)  I love using low f-stop most of the time unless forced to raise it due to multiple subjects, but to go a little further and create it can be even more fun.  Some peeps like to add it was a filter and add fun shapes,  seen here as a heart and  as the main focal point like here.

Some like to create shapes as an accent like here on a Holiday tree:

But I was playing around with the technique and thought it was cool adding color too. Here is a photo of a little girls session I had a few weeks ago. She was playing in the grass and the sun was already down and she was very cool (blue) so when going through the pictures I thought it would be fun to add some sun burst (on the left hand top corner) and some purple bokeh color. And here is the SOOC and the after.  I understand it’s not everyone cup of Joe, but I love it.

Happy Friday!
