Photographing your Bokeh

Keith,
This image is excellent! The plane (or sycamore?) tree is a great contrasty subject and a beautiful tree.
Cheers,
Jim

Thanks Jim

We have two good specimens of planes in our garden here in Oakville. As you can see, we are virtually snow free right now.

If anyone wants to know the difference between a plane and a sycamore I invite them to go to Wikipedia. I can't figure it out after a few google attempts :banghead:

But I've seen them from Chile to Turkey, and they all look the same.

My latest 3 image compo with some work done with the Patch Tool.

Michiel - do you do all your color work with just the sliders in PS?

Are your prints turning out well? - these images must look stunning as large prints. I've just done a couple of mine on the 16x19 Hahnemuhle gallery wraps and they look great. Next I want to try Mike's encaustic wax, but the wife seems to be having a bit of trouble with it :bugeyes:
She is threatening to kick me out into my own space.

OK so tell her if she wants to do her legs she can use her own wax!
On the other hand you could have one up on Mike and have hairs embedded into your canvasses ... :eek:

Meanwhile; Brighton Solitude

Keith - these where 3 bokehphotos with almost the original colours (not much PP, I just seem to be attracted by colourful surroundings. A true deformation of thought).
Just learned about the patch tool which was great to make a soft overflow from the orange colours of the 2 photographs on the outside to the middle photo. ( A sculpture by Bjork from the financial paradise of Iceland :rolleyes:).

Had two prints made - 60 x 80 cm - placed between digibond and plexiglas. Looks great, hanging on the wall right behind me, waiting to get exhibited.
First proofprints were made to test colour and darkness.

Last two of your trees look nice, did you add some colour there?
I ordered that same adapter in OM Mount. Did not hear a thing yet.
I am curious what it can do for me in city scapes as well.

Here is one from that same museum trip (Groninger Museum) where the last one is derived from.

Cheers, Michiel ( Better do the dirty wax work in your own space, it is no good to get all of this in the way of harmonic mariage :D )

Like this one very much Michael. You can't see if it was raining in Brighton :D
Love these old industrial designs and the rough coloured surface adds to the atmosphere of passed times. :thumbup:

Thank you Michiel. No, it was a misty morning in fact. The rusty sheet metal texture I used was just for breaking up the colours but you're right about the atmosphere.

Michiel - these two tree images were just using the vibrance, saturation and white balance controls in Lightroom (I find it easier to change and modify colors in LR than in PS)

I got an order acknowledgment for the tilt adapter within a few days - he is probably overloaded. It is not as easy to manipulate as the Lensbaby Composer, but usually you have a heavy metal legacy lens on it, versus the plastic lens of the Lensbaby. But I love it

Love to see a photo of those two bokehgraphs of yours hanging on the wall.[/I]

Cheers

Keith

PS Hairy encaustic wax sounds interesting - m3photo always has good ideas. I'd better check with Mike first though.

This has a wonderful balance between the simplicity of the composition and chaotic texture.
And, by the way it is hard to keep hairs and grit out of the wax. I was working on a waxed portrait of a couple of dogs last night, but their hair hid my hairs.
