The term ‘bokeh’ comes from the Japanese word ‘boke’ and it means to be blurred, hazy or fuzzy.

In photography, this terms refers to an image that features a background with soft, creamy, out-of-focus highlights. This effect can give your photos a wonderfully dreamy quality. Holiday lights can provide just this effect.

If you would like to try your hand at creating holiday photography with a little bokeh in the background, here are some great tutorials to help you get started:
