Photographing your Bokeh

This is a great thread. After walking through the hundreds of pix, I'm looking at bokeh in a completely different way.

Now some pix I had rejected are looking interesting.

I saved this picture because I liked the play of (lack of) light, but thought that the non-circular, non-soft bokeh marred it. Now I think it's OK against the silhouette:

arpoador, the portrait with the circular bokeh is very nice. I like the shot, sharp features of the man's face with the green/black soft blur with white circular bokeh.

. . . . keep 'em coming!

In this one, the bokeh (which is the direct-view image inside the shop) overlays the reflected portrait image. Shows the same eccentric but sharp circular pattern as the one above.

Interesting effect that filter delivers!

Hi Keith,
I simply love the hint of fall in your two images. From the rather unusually hot summer, we are moving into another season! The atmosphere captured in your images is delightful. :)

++1!

Nice work with the soft focus lens! The first shot looks like stained glass, love the light, detail of the leaves and the grass in the upper left hand conner . . . . .

. . . . . and the second is quite nice with the soft fall color with the appearance of a late fall afternoon sun. Very Nice!

Hi Dan,
Many thanks for your kind comments. It is always very nice to receive your feedback. The mother earth was covered with shiny morning dew which looked like light bubbles as you mentioned. :)

This shot was taken on Sep 5th . . . . . I find the bokeh pleasing ~ along with the colors . . . . . the artichoke plants, some with blue tops appear like ghosts . . . . .

Starting a road trip tomorrow evening . . . . . . hope to follow the thread and contribute while I'm gone . . . . .

Nice one Dan! This is a great lens for flowerbokeh's. The backgrounds are stunning.
Have a nice trip and bring some flowers :)
