Bokeh Dots

What a rainy, gloomy mess of a morning! Rainy days makes me want to stay home and watch movies all day. Have you ever seen photos that have colored dots on the image? I always liked the image but never knew what the name was until a week or two ago. The colored dots are called Bokeh dots!

Bokeh refers to the technique of blurring an image to add to the aesthetic quality of a photograph. The word bokeh, derived from the Japanese word “boke” (pronounced “bo-keh”), literally translates to ‘fuzziness’. When a photographer wants to make an image appear softer, bokeh will put the object slightly out of focus without completely destroying the integrity of it’s definition.
