Fencing is getting more attention these days, this time in a sort of interesting way. With introduction of Sony A99 Mark II, they clearly show off their AF system capturing fencing action. The second image is a snapshot from Canon 1DX Auto Focus Guide that describes how to configure the camera's auto focus system.

This has been called number of things: bokeh, depth of field, background blur, subject isolation. I call it "background does not matter". As in, you can have a mess in the background, and still have your subject stand-out in a beautiful way.

There are several things going on in this photo. The iconic Canon EF 85 1.2L lens with its razor-thin super-shallow depth of field, the ability of Canon 1Dx Mark II to shoot in almost total darkness, and me waiting for Galaxy Note 7 to spontaneously combust, while watching NCIS.

Notice how the five stars are in focus while everything else isn't?
