How To Make Bokeh Effect: A Step By Step Guide

I want to re-post the article from Snapshot by Mona Teo,originally Indonesian to English which explains the bokeh technique by using a canon kit lens. Here we comes

Canon EOS M10, EF50mm f/1.8 STM lens, f/2.8, 1/5sec, ISO 1600

Adapted from the word meaning 'blur' in Japanese, bokeh is a popular photography effect featuring a soft background that loses focus

You will need: a camera, lens, construction paper with black, scissors, ruler, folding knife and a protractor.

Step 1: Use a ruler, measure the width of your lens

Step 2: Divide the width to half and arrange your degree bow. Draw a circle on a construction paper. This will be your filter.

Step 3: Draw your shape as close as possible to the center of the circle, then cut it with a folding knife or art knife. You can be creative as you wish!

Step 4: Place your filters carefully on your lens (you may want to add a small section on the side for easy removal).

Step 5: Set the camera with the widest diaphragm because the filter will block out a lot of light. You can also choose a longer shutter speed, but note that you will need a tripod to reduce shocks on the camera. Congratulations to experiment and have fun!
