Tomáto Tomàto. Nelly Fruitella, Nelly Furtado. Okidoki karaoke bokeh.

Tbh. I don't really care. I like the term 'Bokeh' just fine, especially how Kai Man Wong says it. Simply bokehlicious delicious.

Might just open a hipster 'Just Bokeh-ish' café 'We might not be the best, but we are pretty bokeh' and have healthy dishes like 'Bokehbowls'... where the coffee you order is a 'Bokehcino' just to mess with you. ?

 

You know what does get under my skin though? When someone calls a light sensitive lens 'fast'. Like... I've got my shutterspeed figured out already, I don't want a change of pace. I just want it to let through more light... so a 'bright' lens (or aperture) to me makes more sense than a 'fast' one. 'Ooh, such a fast apertu...' SHUT IT!

How about this:

"Ooh, that lens is approaching zero!"

Also:

"The f-number of the human eye varies from about f/8.3 in a very brightly lit place to about f/2.1 in the dark".

Maybe thats why f/1.2 looks so unnatural to me. See Tony's video (yeah that tony) to see why!

As its all a ploy to sell increasing numbers of ever wider aperture and ever more expensive lenses to people then an easy way to remember how to pronounce it is :

Bokeh makes you broker

lol @Andrew Reid 'slower apertures'. You did that on purpose, didn't ya? ?

Joke's on you. I can not stand the use of 'fast aperture'. 'Slow aperture' doesn't bother me. ?

anyway my new years resolution is to not say ‘bokeh’ out loud for all of 2020

instead ill say kewl things like “blur” “blurriness” and “the quality of blur”

everyone will know exactly what i mean. dumb clients, DPs, everybody
