Sony Digital Lifestyle Workshop

Theme: De-Focus or Bokeh effect
Venue: Sony Store, The Curve
Date: 6 Oct 2013
Time: 1pm- 3pm
What we understand from the workshop is Bokeh comes from the Japanese word BOKE, it means blurry, or just like what the theme tells, defocus. You may use this effect when you want to take a portrait of someone with blurred background. The effect is stronger if you have zoom lense compare to our Sony NEX 5T kit lense.
We are not professional and we are just sharing what we learnt from the workshop ya :)
Tips from the trainer:
3 things you should pay attention on your camera setting:
a. Aperture -- for NEX 5T, the range is 3.5-5.6. We noticed that the lowest we can go in indoor shooting is 3.5; for outdoor shooting would be 5.6
b. Shutter Speed -- Mr. Trainer advised us to adjust it higher to prevent getting shaky effect on the picture
c. ISO - the higher it is the higher exposure you get
Model is hired to let us have a try on taking good Bokeh effect portrait, at both indoor and outdoor.
I used to be a model few years back, never thought that I would stand at a photographer position today^^ 
Mr. Trainer advised us to stand closer to Ms. Model and zoom in as much as possible to get a better Bokeh effect picture. Too bad our kit lense only support 16 - 50mm, it doesn't really allow us to get such effect, hardly can see the blur effect at the back :(

Anyway, let us share some pictures :)
