Interestingly, Johnston has been keeping track of the popularity of the word through Google lexicon searches. Mike’s blog includes wide ranging topics spanning product reviews to photographic philosophy to photography features…kind of like Steve’s site, but with a different flavor. For those of you haven’t checked out his blog, it’s a great way to orient yourself on current topics and movements in photography. I recently had the privilege of communicating with Mike Johnston in preparing to write this article. It was stressed that pronunciation was “bo” as in bone and “ke” as in Kenneth. In the Japanese literature, there are many shades of the meaning of bokeh, but all boil down to some version of “blur quality.” Johnston was ultimately responsible changing the spelling from “boke” to bokeh to address proper pronunciation, and he popularized the term through a series of 3 commissioned articles on the topic, which were published in March and April 1997 issues of “Photo Techniques”. In reality, the term bokeh does not translate literally into one meaning in English. To give credit where credit is due, Johnston first learned of the term “bo-ke” from Oren Grad, a guy who has multiple graduate degrees (MD’s, PhD’s, and several masters degrees…a genius of sorts) and purportedly learned Japanese just to be able to read Japanese photo magazines! Awesome! The term boke-aji had already been used for some time in Japanese magazines in describing an image’s out-of-focus qualities. The term was adopted into the English photographic lexicon by Mike Johnston, who currently runs the Online Photographer blog and was previously editor-in-chief for “Photo Techniques” Magazine in the late 1990’s. ![]() Well, good question! It turns out that bokeh is coined from the Japanese word “boke” and “boke-aji”, which roughly translate to “fuzzy” and “flavor of blur”, respectively. So you may ask: How did such an unusual word, “Bokeh” come to describe the quality of an image’s out of focus area. Hopefully, we can all find some clarity within the discussion and further our understanding of this topic. I suspect that this article may generate a bit of discussion, and that’s what I want, because there are so many misrepresentations and misunderstandings of this topic. We’ll get into some of that controversy soon, and I’ll even provide a list of some lenses that are considered to have the best bokeh across camera systems. Beauty, in fact, may be in the eye of the beholder when it comes to interpreting bokeh. Furthermore, some individuals may consider a particular lens’ bokeh to be desirable, while others may consider the same lens’ bokeh to be harsh. Some of these aberrations may allow a lens to produce aesthetically pleasing bokeh, while others may cause a lens to render harshly. Much of how a lens renders its out-of-focus elements has to do with its inherent aberrations. “In photographic terms, bokeh is the blur, or aesthetic quality of the blur, in out-of-focus areas of an image, or he way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light”īut there is so much more to it, and this is why I want to speak about it a bit more.ĭifferent lenses render bokeh in different ways, and there are many ongoing debates about which lenses produce the best bokeh. In fact, Wikipedia, the internet’s answer to The Encyclopedia Brittanica, defines Bokeh as follows: Simply stated, bokeh is defined as the quality of the out-of-focus parts of a photograph. What is it? Where did the term come from? How should I evaluate bokeh? Does it matter? Are Leica lenses any good in the bokeh department? Rest assured, all questions will be answered. Today, I will delve a discussion of bokeh, the often discussed and often misunderstood topic of photography that generates so much heated debate and so much buzz. We all want to learn as much as possible, as fast as possible, to become the best possible photographers, right?!? Yeah! But there is so much to learn, so why not start here. Given that some of you are relatively new to photography, there are many topics that are novel, and some concepts may be misunderstood. Steve has a real talent for this type of discourse, and his excitement and enthusiasm are infectious. I love how Steve’s reviews and articles have attracted many new photographers and old photographers alike into a lively discussion where everything is fresh and valid. Hi everyone, it’s good to be back with all of you! In browsing here daily, I see that many of you are new to photography or the rangefinder experience. The cutscenes and dialogue takes up varying amounts of in-game time. The amount of time Eike spends in the different eras also passes in the present-day. This action making the Marktplatz where he was fated to die more open and gives the assassin less places hide and a lesser opportunity to proceed with his murder.Īdditionally, the game keeps two digital clocks: one depicting the time in the present-day era and another for whichever era Eike time-travels to. So Eike's objective in Chapter 2 is to seek a way to prevent the tree existing in the first place. Actions taken in one time period affect future ones for example, in Chapter 2 Eike is killed from the assassin hiding behind a tree. The chapters consist of time-traveling through the different eras, finding items, and interacting through dialogue with the non-player characters. The gameplay resembles a point and click adventure but offers a more traditional control scheme allowing the player to control Eike with the directional pad on a controller rather than using a mouse to click an area to navigate. The Digipad, a time-traveling item given to Eike by Homunculus, requires Energy Units, which the player can find scattered around the town. In each chapter, Eike dies, is resurrected by the Homunculus and travels back in time before his death with the intent of changing events to prevent it. The objective of Shadow of Memories is to guide player character Eike Kusch through the fictional German town of Lebensbaum as he travels through time to prevent and unmask his murderer. ![]() Along his journey learning much of the city's past and heritage.įor plot summary of each chapter and further information on the games Multiple Endings we have a new section to where you can read more - Click Here to Visit the Chapter Selection.

He christened the space the Factory, covered all its surfaces in silver, and watched it morph into a hive of countercultural activity. In 1963, with his painting practice expanding, Warhol moved his studio from a rented firehouse to a fifth-floor loft on East 47th Street that once housed a hat factory. It was a game-changing artistic breakthrough, for him and for future artists, legitimizing the commercial method for use in fine art. He quickly invented what would become his signature style–a grainy black image printed repeatedly–in series, grids, rows, or pairs–on painted canvas often strikingly colored. In his hunt to capture the look and feel of commercialized postwar America, Warhol began experimenting with the tools of mechanical reproduction, namely, the photo-silkscreening technique. He described the canvases as “portraits”-a genre he’d continue to explore in depth for the next 35 years. He created 32 Campbell’s Soup Cans for the 1962 show, each a different variety, hand-painted to mimic the uniformity of mass production. When dealer Irving Blum of the cutting-edge Ferus Gallery in Los Angeles spotted the paintings during a studio visit, he offered Warhol a solo exhibition on the spot. ![]() ![]() But his Campbell Soup Cans were a different story. Neither his homoerotic drawings nor his comic-book inspired images caught on, and Warhol faced a number of rejections from dealers. Although a regular visitor to the city’s progressive galleries, where Pop Art was beginning to percolate, Warhol was also somewhat of an art world outsider-“too swish,” as he later described, for the more discreetly gay social circle of Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg. He also began collecting work by his contemporaries, including Jasper Johns, Ray Johnson, and Frank Stella, whose vanguard ranks he aspired to join. That simple form of printing foreshadowed the radical experiments with silkscreening that he’d use to forever transform the look and feel of painting.īy the late 1950s, Warhol had earned enough as an illustrator to purchase a townhouse on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, and to fill it with American antiques and folk art. As curator Donna De Salvo has pointed out, the duplicate looked simultaneously handmade and mass-produced – an appealing duality long at the core of Warhol’s aesthetic. Warhol’s fashionable sought-after style looked different than other illustrations, characterized by his jagged “blotted line,” which he achieved by pressing paper to a wet ink drawing to create a blotchier duplicate. 【PROFESSIONAL CIRCUTE】 - KIPOPO light strip connector kit adopts professional "+, G, R, B" wire distribution, fits all 4-pin 10mm(0.39'') wide 3528/5050 RGB LED strips on the market.
