Etymology

[edit]
An example of bokeh

Learned borrowing fromJapanese暈(ぼ)け(boke,“blur”), thenominalized form of暈(ぼ)ける(bokeru,“toblur”).

The terminal-h, absent in the romanizationboke, is a pronunciation guide so that it is not pronounced as/boʊk/ as it would be under standard English orthography. Contrastkarate andkaraoke, which have undergone sound changes.

The term has been used since at least 1996,[1] with the spellingbokeh introduced by editor Mike Johnston in the March–April 1997 issue ofPhoto Techniques magazine, Johnston writing “it is properly pronounced with bo as in bone and ke as in Kenneth, with equal stress on either syllable”.[2]

Pronunciation

[edit]

Noun

[edit]

bokeh (usuallyuncountable,pluralbokehs)

  1. (photography) Asubjectiveaestheticquality ofout-of-focus areas of animageprojected by acameralens.
    • 2010, Charlotte K. Lowrie, “Exploring Canon Lenses and Accessories”, inCanon EOS Rebel T2i/550D Digital Field Guide, Indianapolis, Ind.:Wiley Publishing,→ISBN,page186:
      The quality of the out-of-focus area in a wide-aperture image is calledbokeh, originally from the Japanese wordboke, pronounced bo-keh, which means fuzzy. In photography,bokeh reflects the shape and number of diaphragm blades in the lens, and that determines, in part, the way that out-of-focus points of light are rendered in the image.Bokeh is also a result of spherical aberration that affects how the light is collected. Although subject to controversy, photographers often judgebokeh as being either good or bad. Goodbokeh renders the out-of-focus areas as smooth, uniform, and generally circular shapes with nicely blurred edges. Badbokeh, on the other hand, renders out-of-focus areas with polygonal shapes, hard edges, and with illumination that creates a brighter area at the outside of the disk shape.
    • 2014, Bob Davis, Dawn Davis, “Blackhawks Fans: The Back Story, Posing, Lighting and Lens Selection, Colleagues”, inWe’re Engaged!: Photographing Vibrant and Joyful Portraits of the Happy Couple, Buffalo, N.Y.: Amherst Media,→ISBN,pages102–103:
      Shooting with natural light, I used a long lens (200mm) to compress the space and slightly blur the background by photographing at a large open aperture (f/2.5). This resulted in gorgeousbokeh, putting the city into a blur while keeping the couple razor sharp.
    • 2014, Krista Smith, “What You Need”, inThe Right Light: Photographing Children and Families Using Natural Light, Buffalo, N.Y.: Amherst Media,→ISBN,page13:
      More expensive lenses usually go down to f/2.8, letting you shoot at faster shutter speeds and get great, creamybokeh in your background.
