Why do cameras and people often blur the background and focus

>t. retard

To put more focus on the actual subject without the background distracting from it and because bokeh looks good

because that's not how optics work, light always needs to be focussed.
there's a thing called hyperfocal distance though, which describes the circumstances that situation appears

>>62154521
Because that's not how optics work you fucking idiot

Not OP, but it doesn't make any sense. It looks like a poor approach to simulate depth on a 2D medium that obviously fails.

What part of "because that's not how optics work" do you not understand?

>>62154594
there is nothing being simulated at all
put something a couple of centimeters in front of your eye, focus on it and watch what the background does
ever wondered why people need glasses?
that's basic optics, mate

>>62154643
My whole vision is sharp and not blurry mate

Ok then, go ahead and make a camera capable of focusing on all distances at once. You'll be a millionaire before you can tell your arse from your head.

Which part of "it's just a meme effect and even my shitty cam from 2005 has a deeper focus" do you retards not unterstand.

>>62154717
go troll on /p/ for fucks sake

>Ok then, go ahead and make a camera capable of focusing on all distances at once.
Obviously, for OPs photo it would be a couple of meters and that exists.
Pretty sure in OPs photo it's just a meme yeah depth of field /v/ tier effect.

>>62154661
You're fucking retarded m8.

It's a stylistic choice you autist

>>62154743
see >>62154769
A shit tier choice, though.

>>62154769
Sometimes, yes, but most of the time there's no avoiding it because of fucking physics

>>62154521
For focus and it makes the shot more, I guess you could say, dramatic

lol you guys can't even answer a simple question properly, dumb dumbs as expected

Pretending to be retarded is the lowest form of trolling

>>62154521
Because your aperture is too wide...

>>62154521
hahahahahahahhaha

>>62154521
It's just a meme
iFags and similar posers think it looks cool because it's like in the movies
But actually you are objectively getting a worse picture by blurring half the detail

>>62154687

There is one. However it works simply by taking a shitton of pics simultaneously at different focals
