Creating a Soft Out-of-Focus Background
If you are a portrait photographer or a wildlife photographer, chances are that you prefer a soft, out-of-focus (blurry) background to a sharp subject. But why would you prefer a blurry background? The answer is simple. A sharp subject with a blurry background means that the viewer's attention will go straight on to the subject and stay there. If the background has anything sharp or colourful or bright, that can draw the viewer's attention away from the subject. We generally speak of the quality of the soft background as 'bokeh'.
