Confucio 500 AD.self awareness came from the selective focus capacity of the eye.
Hi VivekKeith, the second one is a what would be termed as a "double line" bokeh.
Many (if not all) Japanese lenses from the Takumar era are known for it.
Have you tried similar shots under softer light?
It was not possible for me to get the image I wanted through camera shake. But in other cases I have done that, for instance this one (but this also shows the influence of bokeh - so we have shaky bokeh)The double line bokeh is ,for me, the most distracting;looks like camera shake.I could repeat what Ive already said here.

Tim, I look at the camera and the lens combination as an artistic tool. (I really get peed off when University professors say that photography is not an art)When those home bread making machines came out a decade ago, it seemed that the latest thing since sliced bread was unsliced bread.
Whats this bread talk to do with lenses? Well it seems the latest thing in lenses is now not how sharp they are but how well they blur things.
Bokeh seems to be subjective and a matter of opinion. On the whole though there are only some bokehs I don't like - strangely the lenses from Zeiss/Contax nearly always seem to always have "nice" bokeh IMHO. Why is that?
Any one got an example of Contax G1/G2 45mm bokeh? I seem to recall that was excellent.
The quality of bokeh is relative to the importance of the image..........the importance of bokeh is relative to the quality of the image/the quality of bokeh is relative to the importance of the image..............
Bokeh is all smoke and no fire.
