nice pics Cris
look HDRish

[crisone]

^ Thanks Jaco…..my interpretation of an HDR, the adjustment of shadows, highlights, hue and saturation.

hahaha :D…well i havent had the op. to sell some so i cant decide on to just go out photographing or still keep on working

but since you was asking so nice, here some more from yesterday

[jacoavlu]

nice pics Finn, as always
3 posts up, all same lens?
the sunflower pic has smooth, pleasant bokeh
but the 4th one (not sure, is that a grass or wheat?) bokeh is a bit harsh
perhaps just the web downsizing
always enjoy seeing your pics
thanks for posting

[Giles]

I liked that pic until you said it was a bit harsh, now I can't look at it without the background dominating

[madmonday]

keep on working finn, when you love something you do it regardless of the profit margin. . .of course i am poor & hate my job

hahahahahahaha

all the photo terminology, going to have to start coming over here & see if i can get a schooling

[jacoavlu]

bokeh generally = background blurriness / unfocus

see sunflower pic up there, "smooth" bokeh
some quality lenses optimized for smooth bokeh
though this is all very subjective

sometimes a lens will have a "sweet spot", a particular f stop that gives very nice bokeh

wanna see bokeh porn? google leica noctilux bokeh

Yeah - that 4th pic is really shit . . . but at least it makes the others look better in comparison . . .

It's probably best to get jaco to critique all your work before posting

[crisone]

Very nice Finn…...and I have to agree with Jaco, the Bokeh on the Sunflowers is more soothing to the eye.

Some Bokeh on my behalf:

Cris.

[Giles]

Until today, I had no idea what bokeh was, but now i feckin love it…

[crisone]

^ Oh yeah…it's lovely, also depending on what lens you use, the Bokeh becomes creamier and creamier, haha.  There's threads on Photog and Shoe Forums just for pics with Bokeh.

Expecting some IHSH-53 bokeh very shortly…
