.h-b-w

HBW?

H-B-W stands for Happy Bokeh Wednesday. It is umm... a weekly event, to celebrate how lovely and fun bokeh is. And why Wednesdays? Why not any other days? I don't know. H-B-W probably sounds better than any other combinations. Let's have a look - Monday - Sunday.

Yeah, so H-B-W is best among all the other combinations.

Some of you might ask - what's a bokeh?

Bokeh (ボケ) is the Japanese word for "blurred". In other words, it is a photography technique usually done with prime lenses with wide aperture values. The photo above is one example of bokeh, where the background appears out of focus and that only a specific subject/area in the photograph is sharp.

So ummm.. Let's celebrate H-B-W y'all!!! w00t!
