Not too late for me, as I am a few hours behind. I found this tricky with the BAD project when I found myself posting two in the same day, and looking for stuff on the day after. I'm going to have trouble next year when I cross the international dateline.

Love the picture :thumbs:

LAD Project Day #8
G1 + Olympus om 35/28 + TS Adapter

Still very difficult to work with (for me)
Normally this OM lens is very sharp and I would have liked the yellow flower to contrast more in sharpness.
For the rest I like the result.

Michiel, Rafael, Dan, and abry,
Very nice bokehgraphs! The LAD and FLAD Projects are admirable! Here is my contribution. GF1 + 20mm.

I don't know if I agree with you here. The overall smoothness of the entire image is very attractive - one of your best

Lovely, Leica. Very innovative interchange of sharpness, color and composition - up to the usual high standards. By the time LAD, and FLAD are exhausted we could put together a wonderful collection of flowers of every kind. Not too many flowers in my garden yet :thumbdown:

Hi Keith and Dan,
Many thanks for your kind words. Your positive comments are much appreciated as always. The bokeh behind the water lily is an image of light coming through a tall tree reflected on a pond. The sky was somewhat gray thus producing a partial black and white background around the bokeh. All the best, Leica 77.

This is called

"Slip, Slidin' Away"

75/25 bokehgraph:lecture: I'm pushing the limits, should be 25% in-focus, 75% out-of-focus :wtf:

Thinking again about it, in my head, this is the best bokehgraph you've ever done.

It could be an ideal candidate to add some subtle texture as per Mike.

I went to the sunday morning market in our village to shoot some flowers.
Quite difficult to shoot with this 180mm lens handheld, a lot of non-keepers as a result

Finally, I selected this one for my FLAD

Rafael's FLAD #9, G1 with Nikkor 180/2.8 ED

C U,
Rafael
