Sometimes a Bokeh circle can be found in a bland photo, if you enhance the saturation. Circles of confusion are often hidden in original photos and need a bit of coaxing out of the shadows.

I have not heard the term Bokeh before, so have learned something new.

Here is one of mine.

I love that shot CabanSail!!!

Took that in a Rainforest in Northern Queensland. Nikon D70s with the 70-300mm on it. I think it was at full zoom in quite low light, high ISO & very slow shutter speed (1/30 from memory) hand held. It was one of the first times I had used RAW. I had to crop in quite a lot, so that is why there is a lot of noise.

I guess this Mushroom also qualifies.

It's a very small Mushroom that was growing on a Beach on Lough Dan in Wicklow. It was only about 1" across the top of the cup. It was peeing down with rain & so I quickly laid the Camera on the sand & grabbed the shot. Only say the little aphids when I uploaded later.

Some fabulous work in the past few pages.

haha thanks! I kind of cheated though. That dandelion wasn't there in the first place, it was in the grass a few feet away and I thought it would look good in the mix, so I plucked it and put it there myself.:pac:

A little more lensbaby bokeh to add to the thread...

Are those lensbabies any good? Seem like they might add a bit of something different to pictures but do you use it much?

Fajitas!

They're good fun, they have their uses alright. I haven't taken mine out in well over a month, but I've not been shooting anything that needs them.

If you have a few bob to spare, go for it!

Personally, I love it. They give a different viewpoint on "nice" pictures and make them a bit more interesting. Also the selective focus is great for shots that are very detailed or busy where you might want to draw something out of the shot in a different way (like this). Not withstanding the beautiful bokeh you get from it.

As to how often I'd use it, it depends on what you're shooting really. You have to play around with it a bit to focus each time and to change the aperture rings you have to lift them out manually and replace them so not so good when you're on the go but if you're playing around its great.

Some people dont like the whole selective focus effect you get from it; as I said, I love it and I'd highly recommend it if you like the kind of shots you get with it.

Looks like the Horse was photo shopped on, he just looks out of scale.

Fajitas!

What a lens

I remember when I 1st purchased my 100 2.8 Macro lens being confused by this picture I took in the City Arms bar, was the default Daily Star on the bar.





/Edit

Actually just read that, obviously it wasn't the Daily Star!
mmm was on my photobucket.
