Photographing your Bokeh

@ Tesselator; I really like the last ones you posted and your quick focusing skill on moving subjects always amazes me. That AF 35-70 2.8D looks really good.
It's /alright/. It has a very good reputation - which is always good for resale value. The bokeh can be pretty annoying in some shots for sure! Stopped down a little it does have that crystal-clean look people pay the bucks for tho. :)

BTW, that's not my focusing skills at work there. I preset the focus to about 1m and stuck the barrel 80cm out from the swarm, and then clicked... without even looking. :D I tried a bunch of different shutter speeds and even tried it with flash but that looked best IMO.

May not be "focusing skills" but certainly a cool technique that captured an unusual image. Don't you just love how "experiments" turn out sometime?

Wonderful start, let's see some more! I really like the composition on this one.
Keith, thank you so much. There are more good photos in this thread than I could possibly comment on. Great to see what people are up to!

This one is nothing exceptional but I love the rendering nonetheless.

Great stuff everyone!

Keith - I love the ornamental tree. And Klaus, well done UV bokeh series.

Spring is finally in full swing here in Ottawa. Here's one of my beautiful alternate-leaf dogwood (E-PL1 with a Steinheil Munchen Auto-D-Tele-Quinar 55/1.9):



and another one with the same Quinar 55/1.9:
