Ken's Picks
These are videos or articles that I feel are of particular interest to photographers.
It is impossible to highlight all the great free instruction available. I just want to whet your

Bokeh Simulator & Depth of Field Calculator
      https://dofsimulator.net/en/
This application calculates the depth of field in a photo, visualizes it and simulates the background blur (bokeh) based on parameters like: lens focal length, aperture, sensor size and distance of the object and the background from the camera. Changes in parameters are immediately visible in the simulation. This allows to easily observe how they affect the final effect.   Added 10/8/2018
