Photographing your Bokeh

Thanks Michael


I have received my tilt adapter from Italy (m4/3 to M42) and it looks good - well made and fits well.

Here is a test image using the Pentax 50/1.4 (my favorite bokeh lens)

I seem to be able to get selective focus and maintain the bokeh

I'll post a bit more about this adapter on the blends thread.

Hi Keith,

Wow! This is one of the most creative bokehgraphs I have seen in this thread. The tilt adapter seems to work beautifully using your favorite bokeh lens -- the Pentax 50/1.4. I love the duality of having both selective focus and bokeh! Great work! Best regards, Leica 77.

Hi !

it's been a long time since I've posted in this thread. I love all the pictures shown here, but I am no good in PP, so all the masks, .... are very difficult for me.

This is still a very simple bokehgraph :


(snowstorm, first impression)

Hi Raf:

I think bokehgraphs are still about simplicity. Most of mine are single image using the sliders in PS. If I do more with blends etc, then they go over to the blends threads.

This image of the snowstorm is beautiful - so many colors in there.

Hi Keith, Rafael, and Abbazz,
Very nice bokehgraphs! I like them all.

Here is my contribution entitled "Z". All the best.

Leica - one of your best!

The simplicity of the composition along with the electric colors - I think I see a Z in there?

Love this Z!

Beautiful bokeh of the green leaves! Some Jupiter lenses are reputed to produce pleasing bokeh such as the one you have.
Thanks for the compliment, those Jupiter-3 lenses sell for very little money with regard to their abilities.

Cheers!

Hi Abbazz,
Many thanks for your kind comments. As you say, Jupiter-3 lenses' cost performance is highly desirable. The bokeh is akin to what some of the fine Carl Zeiss lenses seem to produce. Best regards, Leica 77.

Hello Keith,

This looks like a no brainer. Very good result and so soon!
Must have one to. :cool:
At present they seem to be sold out.
Do you know they have one in FD mount? Could not figure that out.

Here is a bokeh from today.

Michiel:

I don't think he has an FD mount - I wish he would, as I have a few of those lenses. I sent him an e-mail this morning to say that I thought this was a serious competitor to the Lensbaby.

Love your image, as usual

Re: Tilt Adapter

I don't think he has an FD mount ...
Nor do I. Had a thorough look around his site but can't see much at all for Canon FD but plenty for the EOS mount.
There seems to be a good variety of mounts on offer for the tilt adapter, I might get the Nikon one later on.
I clicked on the video link for the tilt adapter and afterwards had a sudden urge to light up a Hamlet cigar ...:D

Oh no - better turn the sound down if you do more research :lecture:

His adapter is very well built, and there are other adapters there that I could use. Needs to get the site up in English for us language deprived mortals.
