Autobiotography!!!

why it looks like fake bokeh i see photoshopping there
line is visible and there is some smudges around every object

bokeh is orignal but as the title says "bokeh on budget" the bokeh was created with 2 table decoration pieces behind watch and there was gap between them and to remove the gap i stamped the bokeh to the emty space and the line appeared, rest photo is straight from camera

hmm the golden rule is if you use photoshop and do clone stamping then normal eye shouldn't catch it right now its visible in every image
btw which camera and lens you are working on the subject is not focus properly as well

okey...let me state the obvious first : f3.5, tripod or stable surface, timer or remote shutter, manual focus, small area which you want to focus on w.r.t the whole frame +rule of thirds .
keep the background far away from object and have a light source illuminating your point of focus

the Method is same for both situation you have to go close with the subject and keep the background far away

i have not used it but i have read about it the most common ones are with the heart

[opethian]

ur bokeh takes the shape of the aperture, if its 5 bladed then ur bokeh will be 5 sided, if it has more than 7 or 8 blades then it will be circular. Now u put a card with a hole in front of a lens, ur bokeh will look like the shape of the hole

Yea have used them. But I like circular or ellipsoid circles more. Hearts and stars look cheesy.

Thanks,
This is my first DSLR, was working with a superzoom earlier (Coolpix P500). So pretty much a starter with photography and DSLR.

The picture got grainy after I post processed it. What is your opinion about the bike picture?
