Since bokeh fad has been revived as something revolutionary in photography, the sale of large-aperture lenses has supposedly risen, since this is an effect strongly dependent upon the shallow depth of focus.
But there is a cheaper way. Keep your lens aperture as wide open as it can manage - and make sure the background to your object is far enough to be blurry - with some light spots.
There. I just saved you some money! :)

God-given Daylight, with no added lighting... The way I prefer. Or, Shutter Speed: 1/100 sec, F-Number: f/5.6, ISO 400, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00 eV, Metering Mode: Center weighted average, Flash Off (Did not fire), Focal Length: 143.3 mm, White Balance: Auto1Equipment
Coolpix P610, my everyday Nikon camera of choice! No added equipment, gear, nor any other tackle has been used.Inspiration
It's hard to talk about some direct inspiration, since every moment brings its own challenge!Editing
Nothing really important excepting the crop, so as to form the proper composition...In my camera bag
I find it easier to carry a photo vest than any photo bag. So I load my photo vest with whatever I might need for my photo session, walk or trip, while my photo bags usually keep the equipment I'm not using at the moment. The vest's many pockets usually contain two cameras, spare batteries, ND and CPL filters, and one photo clamp standing in for a tripod. Recently I include a small action camera, mainly for its wide field of view and resistance to water and weather. The vest also has large-lens pockets that contain a small water bottle, sandwich, or a bar of chocolate if I plan on being out for the whole day. There is about three meters length of paracord or similar strong, thin rope, one hefty pocket knife, and a lighter. My smartphone comes along too. It has yet another spare camera, but more importantly the Spirit Level App wich I use to make the phone a perfectly horizontal surface under my camera. This is essential for panoramic sweeps. The app is free, and requires no extra permissions whatsoever. The large back pocket of the vest is reserved for a lightweight rain poncho. If the weather suddenly plays up, the poncho neatly covers all. Using the tools mentioned above, much can be improvised along the way, so that's all I need to make photos.Feedback
It's all in your eyes and your mind, 24/7. Just be curious and interested in everything. Most important of all, always have a camera at hand! So when you see something that attracts your attention, you'll as be able to record it! Have a Good Light!
