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

        Cris.

                  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

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

                      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

                        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 😃

                            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:

                                ^ 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.

                                    If you are able to view, here's a thread on "Bokeh" on a Sneaker Forum I visit:

                                      alright now you feckers
                                      critique sounds like a negative thing
                                      when just discussing and comparing…

                                      anyway, yes you can get into bokeh talk
                                      much the same as discussion of Japanese denim and fades etc
                                      it can get deep...

                                      Cris understands, seeing lots of nice bokeh from your pics

                                          yap all the posts on this site are taking with the same lens (just have one btw 😃 !)…
                                          yeah the background may be a bit harsh, but cuz the focus is just on the front, the back is totally blownout...

                                          thanks for the nice words guys 😘

                                          @Geo:

                                          yeah might really have to do this :D…but as i hosted the pic i really didn`t see that the bokeh on the pic was so messed up.
                                          just was watching the front part of the pic, where actually all the focus be on 🙂
