About Wide-Angle Bokeh

Creating good background blur, but with a good amount of background in the shot.

It's easy to create background blur with longer focal lengths due to the "magnification" effect of the background and the typically larger physical aperture. It's harder to retain a wide context of a shot and still have enough background blur for the subject to "pop".

Please note that pictures should be taken with a wide angle lens - typically 35mm or less on a full-frame camera, but even lower (24mm) for a crop sensor camera!

Pictures with no EXIF data will not be accepted unless clearly wide angle
