![]() ![]() That is what photography is and always will be at ON1. Photography is here for you to tell your stories, preserve memories, unwind, forge new connections, rekindle old friendships, and unlock a world of limitless possibilities, not creating fake images. Our AI strategy will always put the photographer first and I want to make that clear. These new AI-based technologies are for helping you save time and give you superior results, not to replace YOU, the photographer. We are using AI to solve real-world problems photographers face today in their post-production workflows. As exciting as AI is, it also brings a lot of unknowns to the photography space. Most recently, our noise reduction, upscaling, sharpening, organizing, and masking breakthroughs are the beginning of a new chapter for ON1. It is so satisfying to look back at the remarkable progress and innovation the ON1 team has built into our software over the years. From cameras to software, everything has seen change. The photo industry has seen some big changes over the last 18 years. In June of 2005, we embarked on the ON1 journey with a vision of providing photographers like yourself more time behind the camera and less time editing the photos you cherish. It brings me great joy to express my gratitude for your continued support of the ON1 photography community over the last 18 years. Using this technique to separate your subject from the background can also allow you to utilize a not-so-photogenic background in your image-but because of its diffused blur, it helps to “highlight” the subject, not detract from it.Hello everyone, Craig Keudell, CEO of ON1 here. When purposely photographed out-of-focus, these normally harsh or bright objects become soft, pastel, diffused orbs of glowing light.īokeh can add softness to an otherwise brightly lit photograph. An often-photographed subject that is an extreme example of bokeh is photographing a grouping of holiday lights or other highly reflective objects. Close-up and macro images of flowers and other objects in nature are also popular subjects to photograph that shows off bokeh in the image. The most photographed subjects showing nice examples of bokeh are portraits. ![]() You could also use the Flexible Program mode, choosing the widest possible aperture/shutter speed combination. Manual gives you the ability to choose both your aperture and shutter speed, whereas Aperture Priority allows you to choose the f/stop while the camera chooses the appropriate shutter speed for the exposure. You’ll want to shoot with the lens wide open, so you’ll want to use a shooting mode of Aperture Priority or Manual. Highlights hitting the background will show more visible bokeh too, so if you’re using a backlight, side light or a hair light, the bokeh may be more pleasing to the eye. The more shallow the depth-of-field, or further the background is, the more out-of-focus it will be. You can do this by decreasing the distance between the camera and subject. ![]() To increase the likelihood of creating visible bokeh in your photographs, increase the distance between your subject and the background. By increasing the distance between the background and your subject, you can see bokeh in images that are shot at smaller apertures like f/8. A lens with more circular shaped blades will have rounder, softer orbs of out-of-focus highlights, whereas a lens with an aperture that is more hexagonal in shape will reflect that shape in the highlights.ĭon't worry if you don't own a very fast lens. Usually seen more in highlights, bokeh is affected by the shape of the diaphragm blades (the aperture) of the lens. Best Lens for BokehĪlthough bokeh is actually a characteristic of a photograph, the lens used determines the shape and size of the visible bokeh. Many photographers like to use fast prime lenses when shooting photographs that they want visible bokeh in. You’ll want to use a lens with at least an f/2.8 aperture, with faster apertures of f/2, f/1.8 or f/1.4 being ideal. To achieve bokeh in an image, you need to use a fast lens-the faster the better. ![]()
