Bokeh

I have learned a new photography term: Bokeh (pronounced with equal stress on both syllables since it is Japanese and not French). It describes the quality with which a lense reproduces out-of-focus areas. I am excited that my new Nikon AF 50mm/1.8D lense, one of the sharpest and at the same time cheapest Nikon lenses, has a very beautiful bokeh. In this picture, this is best seen on the vibrant twigs of the trees in the background.
