Not so much grain, blotch, etc, I am afraid (if that is what is meant by "Boken").
Here is a "Boket" shot of mine with no details.

Re: Show Us Your Bokeh - Any Camera -
Boken: The Out of Focus areas of the image. Grain/Noise may be a factor at high ISOs. Lenses tend to have a signature boken by manufacture. The wider open f/stop you shoot at, the greater the Out of Focus background areas are less defined. (At a close focused object)
Nice capture btw

I figured that it might be something to do with "Bokeh".
M5-guy, I am not sure how good your monitor is in showing darker shades. The second shot you have here has lots of black blotches. Any idea what they are?

The leaves have little spots all over them...That may be what it is. See Image belowI figured that it might be something to do with "Bokeh".

I will add a few more old snaps as well.
One of my all time favorite snaps.
Nikon D40x, a 28mm T/S lens
This sort shots are the very reason why I jumped at mirrorless cams with liveview and swivel screens. But, alas, that has not helped me to make such shots at all (I guess there still a few lenses missing in my m4/3rds line up..:ROTFL
Epson R-D1s, Canon 50/0.95
Epson R-D1s, Canon 50/0.95
Epson R-D1s, Canon 50/0.95
Nikon something 50/1.2 AiS, UV capture
Nikon D80-IR, 10.5mm fisheye Nikkor

Pardon me. Looks like my dyslexia kicked in.
I meant the 4th shot. The one with the bright white rope.

What, They show up :ROTFL:Pardon me. Looks like my dyslexia kicked in.

My bad... poor post I admit.... I was "tiring" to clean up some shadow areas that had a few scratches from the lab.. (I did contact the lab, and their QC is much better now)
If you have a laptop.... just push your monitor back a little to darken it up.... All Gone :ROTFL:

Thanks, M5-Guy and tokengirl.
I am pretty convinced that even in another 8 years of serious snapping, I would still favor that image.
That is one strong example that helped form a personal opinion that "bokeh" for the sake of boket is not the thing for me.
Here is another boket snap.
Nikon D300, 20/3.5 AiS plus a K1 ring
