Bokeh is not a bouquet of flowers.

About the new photography contest...
Does anyone know what "Bokeh" is? I saw maybe 60 out of 77 photos that don't have any bokeh at all.
Here's a link that explains Bokeh and what it is.
Go to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bokeh
Hope this helps.

It's about the quality of the fuzzy wuzzies, not just that they are fuzzy,or wuzzy.

Bokeh can be seen in the foreground too, but absolutely yes!

Typical of people who don't have a clue....which is why I don't like the word or the people who use it just to be snobbish !
...is it really a necessary word ?!

Need to say more?
Bokeh in fore ground = bad bokeh as ill defined... (cone of diffusion is reverted and never 'good enough' for any purpose in my opinion.

I hadn't read this article before looking at the contest entries, so therefore was of the same opinion as others have put forward. Now I can more easily see where some do contain bokeh, but others none at all. Every week there are entries that make me scratch my head wondering how the entrant thought their photo met the criteria.

I read and read it. Before i go make an attempt at it, can it be done with a bridge camera? Am i correct in my interpretation the main subject is in focus the back ground and fore ground (depending on distance from subject is blurred or not in focus?

Yes. A narrow DoF will emphasize background & foreground being Out-of-Focus. The original definition of 'bokeh' was applied to OoF background specular highlights. Unfortunately, the definition has been expanded to include any part of photo that is OoF.I read and read it. Before i go make an attempt at it, can it be done with a bridge camera?

Howdy. You can use a bridge camera, but use aperture priority and set the aperture to the smallest number.
Or use your zoom length to some degree of telephoto - that'll give you more out of focus area/s than a wider angle will. Try some and post to the analysis section if you'd like more help. Either tell us your settings when you do, or store original if you know that we'll be able to see the settings in exif.
