Beautiful Bokeh: Selfie Dilemma of My Past Self as a Selfie Addict and My Latest Nature Snaps

I remember those times when I often got jealous of my friends selfies because of the blurry background on their photos. I was in college then. I don't have a smartphone like others, I can't use those camera filters on my keypad phone. Like, that blurry effect is just so cool. I like it, especially if I want a blurry background in my selfies. My background sometimes is so ugly that I want to hide it. But I can't, so my selfies are always close-up ones.

How amazing it would be if I could just blur the background in this photo, haha. Like, look how messy it is, lol. This is just one sample photo from before. Oftentimes, I had a hard time editing the photo just to hide the messy background of it. Lol

Thankfully, with my upgraded phone, I can now have a selfie with a blurry effect. I also love that it can also be applied in other subjects. Furthermore, I love it when one particular subject is the only clear one in one photo while everything is blurred. It's really cool. It looks clean and aesthetic too. I have a lot of photos in my new phone with that "bokeh" effect, so let me share them here.

Ahhh, actually, Honor x7c has that Bokeh too and it can be adjusted with strong to weak. But I don't use it to be honest, because the blurry effect in the background automatically applied even without doing anything. And I find that really cool.

So here's the first batch of the photos, it's in the Park and as you can see it is a different subject. With the blurry effect on the background, the subject is more noticeable which what I wanted. My phone has "bokeh" effect but I don't use it, when I zoom it in and if I took it really closely, it automatically get a blurry effect on the background, especially for smaller subject. I don't have to edit a photo to blur the background, just like what I always did then, now, one snap is all it takes.

Here's another one, with a shaky hand like mine, taking this is a bit hard. They are so tiny and it's dancing with the wind so it hard for my camera to focus. It's a flower from a tree. I am not sure what kind of tree it is though. It is just so pretty that I decided to take a photo of it. Another thing is, I want to challenge myself if I can get a clear photo of ut, I mean, the phone camera, I want to challenge my phone camera haha. Surprisingly, it works, thanks heaven. ＼⁠(⁠^⁠o⁠^⁠)⁠／

Here's another, and yeah, it's a flower again, a pretty one of course. I mean, every flowers exist in this world are all pretty no? And just like the other, taking a shot of this is not that easy. But it's fun, I just have to click faster.

And moreeeeee... What a pretty and cool shape of flowers, just like a star. It is also a small flowers but I just zoom it in to take a clear shot of it.

And lastly, from our very own yard. The first photo is an old and dry baby guava, just newly sprout guava. Then the others is from Mama's Bitter Gourd. As you can see there, it has flowers now and soon it will sprout it's own fruits. This is already the start no? I'm looking forward for it. (⁠人⁠ ⁠•͈⁠ᴗ⁠•͈⁠)

So that's all, taking good photo is hard but that hard part is also enjoyable. Especially, it can challenge us. And once you get the result you, want isn't that more satisfying? After that challenging part ♪⁠┌⁠|⁠∵⁠|⁠┘⁠♪
