Its a little technique, which in some cases has been faked called, Bokeh, and according to the ye all knowing wiki is derived from Japanese, a noun boke 暈け, meaning "blurred or fuzzy" , it is a photographic term referring to the appearance of out-of-focus areas in an image produced by a camera lens using a shallow depth of field.
