Episode 154: Lens Blur

Jeff Carlson & Kirk McElhearn — Fri, 01 Dec 2023 02:00:00 -0800

It’s time to talk about the B-word again! Jeff couldn’t trick Kirk into saying “bokeh,” but this week we’re looking at a few ways to get background blur using Portrait mode in the iPhone and editing in Lightroom. Technology has improved quite a lot in the last couple of years, to the point where simulated bokeh can sometimes pass off as natural lens blur.
