Matt and Michael,

Cheers, guys!

Matt: I used my trusty 350D for those. Bokeh is the lens blur in the background (you can see the perfect circular blurring in some shots).

Ken Rockwell describes bokeh as "the rendition of out-of-focus points of light. Bokeh is different from sharpness. Sharpness is what happens at the point of best focus. Bokeh is what happens away from the point of best focus. Bokeh describes the appearance, or "feel," of out-of-focus areas. Bokeh is not how far something is out-of-focus, bokeh is the character of whatever blur is there."

Cheers!

Regards,
Humayun
