We are intrigued by those “mysterious” colored circles behind a well-focused flower or the lovely “bubbles” in the background of a baby’s picture. I am sure you may have thought about this while taking pictures, too. Do you ever wonder how can you achieve that effect, popularly known as the Bokeh Effect. Photographers talk about “bokeh”, which is a Japanese word that refers to the aesthetics of areas of a photograph that are deliberately out of focus. The keyword to achieving fantastic bokeh is “aperture“. If your camera has an Aperture Priority setting (either A or Av depending on the model — check your camera’s manual), then you can control the depth of field (DOF) by setting the f/stop (also known as the f/number). For the shallowest DOF and the most bokeh, in Aperture Priority Mode, just dial the f/stop all the way to lowest possible number. Bokeh Photography in 3 Simple Steps

Thaioffcamera Cymatics Resonance made visible with black seeds on a harpsichord soundboard Cornstarch and water solution under the influence of sine wave vibration Cymatics (from Greek: κῦμα "wave") is the study of visible sound co vibration, a subset of modal phenomena. Typically the surface of a plate, diaphragm, or membrane is vibrated, and regions of maximum and minimum displacement are made visible in a thin coating of particles, paste, or liquid.[1] Different patterns emerge in the excitatory medium depending on the geometry of the plate and the driving frequency. The apparatus employed can be simple, such as the old Chinese spouting bowl, or Chinese singing fountain, in which copper handles are rubbed and cause the copper bottom elements to vibrate.[citation needed] Other examples include the Chladni Plate[2] and the CymaScope. Etymology[edit] History[edit] On July 8, 1680, Robert Hooke was able to see the nodal patterns associated with the modes of vibration of glass plates. Influences in art[edit]
