The bokeh circles you can see are from the sunlight of the bright sky streaming through the leaves. SCENE 2: Sunbeams streaming through leavesĮOS 5D Mark III/ FL: 200mm/ Aperture Priority AE (f/2.8, 1/640 sec., EV +0.3)/ ISO 400/ WB: 4,500KĪ forest is also a treasure trove of point light sources. I set the aperture to f/4, came right up close to the illumination in the foreground such that it was nearly touching my lens glass, and then defocused to create large bokeh circles. Illuminations are one of the easiest point light sources to use for creating bokeh circles. Furthermore, if you shoot with a narrow aperture, the bokeh circles will appear small, or will have an irregular shape due to the shape of the aperture blades, so it is important to shoot at maximum aperture.ĮOS 5D Mark III/ FL: 70mm/ Aperture Priority AE (f/4, 1/25 sec, EV+0.3)/ ISO 250/ WB: Daylight ![]() Also, by keeping your main subject as far as possible from the source of the bokeh circles-in this case, the point light sources-for your shoot, the larger the bokeh circles you can obtain. Hence, if you take some time to look around, you’ll find that it is possible to create bokeh circles under any conditions, whether in cloudy conditions, in the day, or at night.Ī good way to create a large blur is to use a bright prime lens or telephoto lens with a full frame camera. You can look for a backlit location to make it easier to capture reflected sunlight, and also find such light sources in the cracks between trees even on cloudy days. However, even during the day, the sunlight reflected off the water's surface or leaves, and the bright sky visible through the gaps in branches and leaves of trees, can also be ‘sparkle spots’-sources for bokeh circles. Typical examples of bright point light sources are street lights and illumination, which are artificial lights that stand out in night scenes. ( Check out our article for 4 easy tips on how to do so!) Therefore, all you need to do to capture bokeh circles is find a bright point light source and create a large blur. (Reported by: Kazuo Nakahara)īright point light sources are the secret to bokeh circlesīokeh circles are formed when you create a large blur of a bright point light source, and are actually no different from normal bokeh. Here, I will explain bokeh circles are formed as well as a few tips to capturing them. ![]() Once you have mastered the trick to creating them, you’ll be able to capture such photos effortlessly. Capturing beautiful bokeh circles is one of the photography techniques that I would recommend trying.
