Canon EOS - Chris Bray Creative Tutorial: Experimenting with Bokeh and Out of Focus Photography

[AdroitNecromaner]

58 mm good?

[CanonAustralia]

@AdroitNecromaner Hey there, not sure what you are referring to. Can you elaborate? Thanks, the Canon team.

[sw33tbay]

so i just need to cut out any shape and those will make bokeh effect??

[CanonAustralia]

@sw33tbay yes put the cut-out shapes over the lens. Good luck!

[BrandonKingVloggin]

If it was "Bo-ka" then it would've have been in Japanese "Bokaa", it's Bokeh, which is actually "Bokee" which should sound like "Bo-Keh". But great video :) Just thought I might correct people's Japanese.

[CanonAustralia]

@BrandonKingVloggin Thanks Brandon! Cheers, the Canon team.

[PushkaCom]

BOKOEH !

[CanonAustralia]

@tirimut Thanks. Glad you enjoyed the video! Cheers, the Canon team.

[wastedtalentusa]

Amazing videos. Great tutorials. I just subscribed.

[orbitflock]

Does it work on 18-55mm lens? 

[CanonAustralia]

@orbitflock Yes

[smasherb216]

this is great! im trying it now,but i have a question, im using 18-55mm Lens. am i suppose to use a bigger shape or smaller. lets say if im using a long lens am i going to use smallers shape too?

[CanonAustralia]

@smasherb216 Experiment with differing shapes and see which one you like best. Cheers

[Synnergy08]

I wish I could do this, but unfortunately I don't have the money to get a DSLR and I already tried and failed at doing bokeh shots with my Olympus SP-600UZ. The blur makes pictures look so much better, fully sharp pictures are boring.

[Blighto2]

@Synnergy08 Why not get a cheap SLR like the Olympus E-420? I bought mine second hand. It doesn't matter that its a low-end SLR, its still an SLR. Once you experience through-the-lens viewfinder, phase detect auto-focus and larger apertures, you'll wonder how you were ever satisfied with a compact / bridge camera.

[Zeignn]

Kai Wong is the best on saying BOKEH! Bokuh!

[MrLukasDiSparrow]

can you lease make tutorial video on how to make GOOD HD Quality video with 60D cuz I don;t seem to do so :(

[wakeupfist]

Great tutorial but I was also really pleased with the look of this video itself. Really nicely lit and shot.

[ChaosIntoComedy]

Really want to try the 'bokeh' style now!

[CanonAustralia]

@ChaosIntoComedy Great! :) Let us know when you do! :)

[bestcanoncameras]

Hmmm. What can I say....

[cadeau36]

[khashaiar1975]

[denguexxx]

[CanonAustralia]

@denguexxx look out for next year's Photo5 competition! :)

[Brodiesbumvideo]

@CanonAustralia That's if you can get it, 2 years in a row I have entered and not been sent the box :(

[aladiinooo]

I like the retro background especially with the yellow tinted white but is the orange retro stereo in the background for real or is this some kind of Oz humor :P ?

[GabsSalonga]

Thanks so much for this tutorial, I spent ages trying to figure out how to take this certain type of photography!

[russellskates]

Would a bokeh hood effect work on a 35mm lens?

[Soakingroom]

thanks for this gr8 vid :) ur kinda cute too ;)

[pavilscape]

hey chris bray umm i just got 1 question , from where can we get bokeh? :o :$ :$

[ghostryder0079]

Thanks for the tips. I have a Sony DSC - H10. Would this work for mine since it's a point and shoot camera??

[mmmBax]

I pronounce it Boke Eh, Boke Ah just sounds weird.

[spacefaget]

Negative. It's "bokah".

I'm pretty sure the Japs know how to pronounce their own words.

[mmmBax]

@spacefaget Well, in saying that, the original word is Boke, which with what I know of Japanese, should be Bo and Ke.

From doing a quick google it seems as though the H was added for English readers when discussing it so that it would be pronounced correctly. As Bo-Keh.

Bo (As in Bob) and Ke (As in Ken)

I have no idea where the BoKa-Kah, pronunciation came from.

[Soakingroom]

@mmmBax yah me too lol

[Sallybunckle]

Excellent. Easy to understand, thanks.

[xFreakOnALeash]

What's the song in the background?

I keep watching the video again and again Because of the song and Because the video is really awesome.

I'll try this!

[FreedomForOrcas]

This was very helpful :)

I plan on trying this!

[040506keri]

What on earth is the Canon eos photo five 2009 box????????

[typeincomedy]

What's the artist / song title for the background music? Thanks.

[Zooey105]

@typeincomedy If you ever find it, tell me please :3 I've been searching for it forever and can't find it anywhere.

[CanonAustralia]

It was all created specifically for this particular video series :) So unfortunately it doesn't exist anywhere else.

Cheers,

Canon

[typeincomedy]

@CanonAustralia Thanks for the explanation.

Too bad it doesn't exist, it could be a hit, with appropiate vocals. :)

[yyyy2999]

@Zooey105 looking for what

[gagugid]

nice music!!!,and nice video!....

[aaronc608]

im going to try this tonight. does anyone know if it will work on a 24-70L? it's a 77mm filter.

[ewitzandrew]

thanks :)

[chanseyalesana]

this video is helpful, im going to try this! =]

[premacy2003]

Thank you for the video. I own two EOS SLR, one digital one 35mm. I have never tried this technique. Found video very informative

[dpspstewart]

easier than it looks :) and getting that bloody bokeh cardboard thingy is a bloody challlenge in itself XD

[TheStuBush]

Thanks Chris, looking forward to seeing some great submissions. I've had a play already and it is tricky, but once you have the hang of it, you can get some fantastic shots. Good luck all.

[mixmaxdix]

that as simply awesome
