Allan Bell Posted December 12, 2014 Author Share Posted December 12, 2014 For decades now, English speakers in all parts of the world have been watching films and TV from the other English-speaking peoples. For the most part, we all follow along okay. (I feel as if I've written all this before -- déjà vu all over again as Yogi Berra said. Déjà vu? Hey, that's not English!) Back in film days, I had never heard the term. We spoke of DoF and the shadow shapes the blades created, but no one ever said bokeh. Yes I only heard the term (Bokeh) when I came back into photography in a serious way a few years back. Before that, when doing film and print, never heard it said. Strange how "new" words seem to keep emerging. I assume it was thought to be trendy at the time. HEY! How did Yogi Bear get in here? Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to remember back in the 70s seeing images with out of focus highlights being referred to as 'Ooferies' in Practical Photographer magazine.
