Bokeh photography?

[kundalini]

Prime lenses are the best when it comes to out of focus areas.

Not necessarily. There are many primes that have nervous bokeh. By this I mean the opposite of smooth rendering of the out of focus area. It also depends on the number and shape of the aperture blades.

An example using the 70-200mm.....

I have one of these fabled Bokeh lenses. I could sell it to you, if the price is right.

oh!! do you have examples?

LOL fail! :lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao:

I can do that with a kit lens.

Showoff!

I'm a noob at photography but I really love the blurred background effect, is there a lens that I can buy where I don't have to be so far away to focus it and make the background smooth and blurred?

Get Bryan Peterson's book "Understanding Exposure" a.s.a.p.

Well I'm good with general blurred backgrounds

But I just want a lens that I can be a bit closer and still have the same effect

I had to be very far away just to make the backgrounds turn out like this

I like the last one.
What lens did you use for these shots?
