tokyo bokeh.

My recent acquisition of a Canon 700D 

has drawn me to watching numerous Youtube

tutorials on the basics of photography. 

Now that I know how to do sort of cool things with

this cam, I've also picked up some new lingo including 

the word Bokeh.

BOKEH
(Originally /ˈboʊkɛ/, /ˈboʊkeɪ/ BOH-kay  Japanese: [boke]) i
s the blur, or the aesthetic quality of the blur,in out-of-focus areas of an image.
Bokeh has been defined as
"the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light"

 

 Photographer Takashi Kitajima takes the word

and brings it back to it's roots, photographing 

Tokyo in all its light polluting glory (which I have no issue with)

 

Each composition creates abstract landscapes

that are as whimsical and dreamy and photography can get.
