Photographing your Bokeh

[Amin]

Today was a lovely day and I had time.
This is a shot of a tiny 8mm succulent flower.

Another winner. Beautiful composition with a flower so small as to escape our usual attention.

@ Keith; I can't say enough; you've created a wonderful thread.

@ Klaus, Michiel & Admin; Thank all of you for your compliments.

@ Klaus & Michiel; The Trioplan bokeh is lovely and has a dreamy quality. The CZ 135 f4 appears to be sharper and its' bokeh is also very nice but to me not a dreamy as the Trioplan. Klaus, The Tulips are wonderful!

@ Michiel; I support my Komine with a Manfrotto 293. It's a bit clunky but provides good support for the lens and body.

@ Raf; Lovely results with the kit lens

Great "watercolors" Michiel!

Michiel's posts from his Meyer-Optik Görlitz 100/2.8 caused a SLALS crisis for me (Sudden Lens Acquisition Lust Syndrome),
so here come the first two from my Trioplan

Nice ones, Raf!
Don't mention my name at home. :ROTFL:
Hope you like it.
It is one of those lenses with that special wild bokeh, I like.

Thanks Klaus, now if you dust of your Trioplan also we can form a Trioplan trio.

Love the sharpness and bokeh in this one, Paul. The Vivitar?

Nice one with the fairytail background Raf!

Thank you Michiel, Raf and theflyer. Another trial here with the Vivitar 28mm f2.8 + Vivitar 2x Macro Converter used for the shot of the Lilac.

 

[Michiel Schierbeek]

Another one from the macroserie of tiny succulent flowers.

Michiel that is beautiful! Lovely color, bokeh and composition. Your framing always enhances your images. Do you optically center your images or are the border proportions arbitrary? Did you create an action to quickly create your frames?

 

[Michiel Schierbeek]

Thank you, Paul.
Mostly I try not to crop but frame with the camera. Lately I do some more framing in PS.
(BTW not on this one)
Yes I made an action in PS for frame and text, so I only have to fill in lens and title.
Makes life easyer!

Leaving home early in the morning can have advantages.
Today, I was already 50 km on the road to a customer, when, during a brief pause, I could shoot this one :

G1 with Meyer-Optik Trioplan 100/2.8

Have a nice weekend,
