Tips Hasilkan Foto dengan Efek Bokeh yang Ciamik Ok Sobat !

Ok friend As the trend of smartphones with depth sensors is increasing, the bokeh effect is increasingly popular among photographers, especially social media activists. Ok friend, however, you are still more free to produce bokeh with conventional cameras, not smartphones.

Ok friends, Bokeh photos are not only pleasing to the eye, they also look more artistic. Before discussing further, we must first know why bokeh feels more pleasing to the eye.

The bokeh effect feels special because the eyes cannot reproduce the effect. When compared to the diaphragm, the bokeh is produced with a large aperture, friend, even though our eyes are used to seeing with a small aperture every day. So, the background separation effect is less noticeable if we look at the object with the naked eye.

So, to produce photos with quality bokeh effects, let's look at the following tips.
 

1. Ok buddy Make sure the lens has a large diaphragm

 

Although the aperture of today's smartphone lenses is quite large, most cellphones use AI. So, the bokeh results are done digitally, not relying on the lens.

Alright friend. Therefore, it is recommended that you stick to a camera, both DSLR and mirrorless. If you want to produce bokeh photos, you must have a lens with a large aperture, such as f / 2.8 and above.

The cheapest lens variant that offers a large aperture is usually 50mm. No matter what brand of camera you are, there is sure to be a wide selection of 50mm lenses to suit your camera. If you decide to use a third-party lens, make sure you also have an adapter available for your lens.

 

2. Take advantage of the camera aperture mode

 

Ok buddy, shooting doesn't always have to be manual. However, you should also not rely on Auto mode as often the results are not what you expect if you need certain settings.

Now, for bokeh photos - if you are confused about how to set it up - you can use the aperture mode on the camera. Usually this mode is named AV or A.

Ok buddy. If you have used this mode before, the only setting you need to adjust is the lens aperture. Put numbers in large openings, starting at f / 2.8, f / 2.2, f / 1.8, and so on. If you choose this mode, the shutter speed and ISO affairs will be determined by the camera.

Let the camera do the thinking for you. Believe that this feature is there to make it easier for its users. So, don't be proud if someone says you have to use manual mode every time you shoot because you also have to be careful in determining your photo needs.

3. Find out about the lens' sweet spot and minimum distance

Ok buddy. The last most important thing is that you have to recognize the character of the lens. This is important because it will affect the results of your photos.

Understand that every lens has a sweet spot. The sweet spot is a certain aperture that is the best performance of the lens in displaying sharp images. So, even though a lens has the largest aperture number, it doesn't mean you will get high image quality at that aperture.

Ok, for example the Canon 50mm F / 1.8, you will get sharp images from the center of the photo area to the corners at F / 2.2. Meanwhile, if you continue to force the aperture at F / 1.8, the results will not be sharp or ghostly in the corners.

Ok, friend, also make sure the distance between the object and the background is some distance away so that the separation has real dimensions. When the background is close to the object, it will be difficult to get creamy bokeh. This can only be determined experimentally. So, keep shooting, mate!
