I found a few photos from the days I missed. Traveling in olive and tangerine trees in my grandmother's garden. This is the one I miss most. Of course I like light games. Those beautiful bokeh ... And the fairy tale they created. My little baby has not yet met the magic atmosphere of the garden. For this we have to wait for normal life. If he looks like me and his dad, he will really love it!
I owe the beauty of the bokeh to the soligor 20mm f2.8 lens. That lens always gives the look I want.

How to get bokeh image? I will remember this briefly.
The purpose of the photo shoot is to blur the area behind the main subject.
For a good “bokeh” shooting, we can start with lenses with a low f-value, i.e. lenses with large apertures and focal lengths above 50mm as a rule (50mm f1.8 or 35mm f1.8 or Canon EF 50mm f / 1.4 USM. .)
We also need a large sensor (full frame).
In fact, all lenses have different “bokeh” quality.

The most important feature that affects the “bokeh” quality of this type of lens is the number of diaphragm blades they have. The more aperture blades the lens has, the softer and rounded lines the "bokeh". This is generally proportional to the objective price.
The bokeh “effect is especially important for macro and portrait shots. In some images it is necessary to separate the background from the subject.

Also, it is a requirement that we apply “bokeh” in Manual Mode. Apart from these, even if you try to imitate the blur (bokeh effect) in the software environment (Photoshop etc.), you cannot fully create it.
