Holiday Bokeh

Photo by Jack Newton

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.
