Proving Proper Performance
Using Little BigShot to Enhance the Bokeh Effect
The term "bokeh" refers to the out of focus regions of an image. Bokeh is an inherent part of closeup photography because at close range and under magnification, cameras have a shallow depth of field which readily throws the background out of focus. The greater the zoom level, the more shallow the depth of field.
Without Little BigShot, the glitter background is still recognizable and well focused.
With Little BigShot attached to the camera, the depth of field is reduced, transforming the glitter background into blurred jewels of colorful light (bokeh). This image is at 2x zoom.
As zoom increases, the size of the bokeh jewels increases. This image is at 3x zoom.
And at 4x zoom, the bokeh jewels are again enlarged.
Adding the Little BigShot lens to the camera immediately decreases the depth of field, allowing you to create bokeh where it either didn't exist, or was unattractive. You are then capable of manipulating and enhancing the bokeh effect very simply by making adjustments to the zoom level.
