Photographing your Bokeh

[woodmancy]

twirly, twirly,...

I think this image amplifies all that's best about bokehgraphy. Beautiful sharp image with a counterpoint of a subtle contrast of bokeh and color. One of the best on the thread.

Klaus all of your recent posts are exceptional.

Keith

PS - I think ferns are great subjects for bokeh experiments!

One more bouquetgraph. Nikkor 18-200mm AF ED.

A classic "Leica" bokehgraph. Wonderful :salute::salute::salute:

Thanks a lot guys!

Keith, Dan, Michiel - stunning recent posts seen above!!

Dan, that Sonnar is a gem indeed. I always liked how Sonnars render images!

Thanks Jim.
That is really cheap. My FD 200/2.8 alone was already more expensive. What are the others?

I got this outstanding Flektogon 35/2, a Porst 100/2.8, a Revuenon 55/1.4 and a Steinheil Cassarit 135/4.5. Strange collection but very nice.

Hi Michiel,

The other Canon FD lenses were the S.C.C. 24/2.8, S.C.C. 100/2.8, Zoom 35-105/3.5, 50/1.8, 28/2.8, several extension tubes, 2x teleconverter, plus some other odds and ends.

Your new acquisitions sound very promising and the Porst sample looks great :salute:

Cheers,
Jim

Prices have definitely dropped, but I would not pay $2,000 for that :sleep006:

Soooo many beautiful bokehgraphs, by everybody, with all lenses ...
It's a real visual feast to check this thread every day !

I'm awaiting delivery of a new "big" lens, and I plan to post a complement to my FLAD upon reception.

Have fun,
Rafael

Hi Michiel,
Beautiful bokehgraph! I love it! Best, Leica 77.

 

[seakayaker]

Leica your Bokegraphs with the "ISCO GOTTINGEN WESTROMAT 50mm f1.9" are just wonderful! I have been looking for that lens and some day will own one. The ones on Ebay are expensive and lack pictures or good descriptions . . . . .

. . . . . Patience is a virtue . . . . .


Michiel a beautiful shot with the Minolta Rokkor 105/2.5! A new lens? . . . . . I don't recall seeing this one perviously.


Anyway, I picked up a Voigtlander S APO-Lanthar 85mm f3.5. . . . .
