What is a bokeh photo? Photo bokeh is a photo with a blurry background, while the main subject remains sharp. such as those generated by advanced cameras.

One of the major advantages of SLR type cameras over camera phones is the ability to view (and capture) objects with low depth of field levels. Types of photos that are also often referred to as bokeh give interesting results: the image object looks sharp, but the background appears blurred.

To get results like this, you usually need a lens type and a high aperture level. But now you can get photos like this by using your Android smartphone that you have.

You can choose and customize any object that you want to highlight / focus just by doing tap. By dragging the depth of field slider, you can simulate the aperture size. Bokeh effects presented from the level of soft to surreal.

Google does this in a unique way. First, the app will read the visual features available on the scene and track them by time, through a series of pictures.

Using a computer algorithm called Structure-from-Motion (SfM) and a series of software adjustments. The app will calculate the position of cameras and objects in their three dimensional fields and their orientation.

But it's not Lens Blur alone that makes Google Camera very promising. This app has a simple UI design, where the viewfinder will not block view when users want to capture high resolution photos. Capture buttons are also presented larger so it is easy to tap without losing sight of the target.

The ability of panoramic photos is also boosted. Photos of this type can be recorded with higher resolution, as well as higher level and higher detail.

Then the Photo Sphere feature lets you capture photo spheres - up, down, side, up to you. Photo Sphere even supports cameras with sensors up to 50-megapixels. First time for device users other than Nexus.

The Google Camera app has been available on Google Play since April 16th. This app can work with all types of smartphones and tablets (apart from the majority of its mediocre camera capabilities) with the Android 4.4+ KitKat operating system.

Further, the definition of a bokeh photo or Depth of Field (DOF) is the range of distance that the subject has to produce a variation of sharpness / focus on the resulting image (depth of space). Then, how to make a photo bokeh or photo blur back?
