What's the difference between bokeh and blur terms? How to get a good bokeh result.

Sometimes bokeh and blur have the same meaning, but if you want more detail, we can distinguish as follows:

Bokeh means part of the photo that is not focused, and has the connotation of beauty. The shape of the bokeh depends on the shape and design of the lens.

A good bokeh depends on the type of lens used. To create an interesting bokeh, it takes a lens with large openings, such as f / 2.8 or greater (f / 2, f / 1.8, f / 1.4 and so on).

The farther the distance between the focusing and unfocused parts, the more bokeh the area.

While the blur is a technique to make some areas of the image becomes unclear / blurred with the software.

Blur can also mean motion blur, which is created by the motion / vibration of the camera is recorded when making a photo, or the subject of the photo is moving too fast to be frozen by the shutter speed in the camera at that time.
