Bokeh!


My brother the fancy photographer told me I had achieved bokeh with one of my photos. I visited the butterfly exhibit at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden with my photography class with the assignment of taking "macro" photos of butterflies. Macro is close-up photography, usually using a special macro lens. I was able to borrow such a lens from my friend Rita and lo and behold, apparently I achieved bokeh without even knowing it. Bokeh means that the subject of the photo is enhanced by the blurriness or fuzziness of the rest of the photo.

Here's the photo, you be the judge.
