Don't worry about it, only 2 1/2 of us have contributed images. Viveks has a sharp image in it so it counts as 1/2

Flower Burst

This one is interesting - it is the new Oly 17mm 2.8. There is lots of interesting stuff in there.

Hey Ranger - do you like the way I'm giving them names?

Thank heaven for double line bokeh - I have to find me a better (worse lens) for this

OK, Leica 77, I'm breaking down - how did you do that :angry:

Hi My Friend, Keith:
It had a lot to do with the Zeiss Opton Sonnar 50mm F1,5 lens. As you know, the lens is reputed to produce pleasing bokeh. The object recorded is a piece of colorful fabric with many circular designs. Once again, thank you for providing me with your insightful guidance! You introduced me to the fine art of "bokehgraphy"! :)

G1 + Zeiss Opton Sonnar 50mm F1,5. ISO 100. Aperture @ F1,5. Another humble contribution to the "Bokehgraphy".

There were no images I have contributed that would qualify.

This one might (although, it isn't a "bokeh" by definition).

AF malfunction of 50/1.8 Nikkor on a Nikon D300.

Love the idea of "Bokehgraphy" - great invention! must look out for another Nikon 50mm f1.8... keep it up everyone! I don't have any photographs of nothing but bokeh... will do something later ;)

Kind Regards

"bokehgraphy" seems to be a lot of fun.

I have no pictures to share yet, but next time I'll go shooting flowers, I'll take my knife, and cut the flower away to shoot the background. I'm still in doubt whether to the cutting before or after shooting the flower.

;);)

No need for a tripod for this kind of work, so the procedure is:
1. Focus on the flower
2. Put the camera down and cut the flower
3. Put the camera back to it's original position . . . . . . oh, that may not work :wtf:

But at least you get to take home a bunch of flowers :grin:

Hi Leica 77 - I may break down and get this lens :bugeyes:
How does it produce bokehgraphs from subjects that are primarily linear in nature (a bunch of twigs)

I just did some quick research - is the Russian Jupiter 3 a copy of the Zeiss. If so I have it on my shelf and will test it (for bokeh, of course) Should look about the same (bokehgraphers don't care about sharpness :deadhorse:)
