[Photography] 30 Alluring Images with Shallow DOF

This week we’re going back to the basics and looking at some images that utilize a large aperture to create a narrow or shallow DOF (Depth of Field).

Often called bokeh, large apertures can create that magical look of out of focus blobs (highly technical term).

Here are a few images demonstrating these things to inspire you.
