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

[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

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:

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…

[crisone]

^ Haha, I'll try to achieve that for ya….........

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

[crisone]

^ Thanks Jaco…my last pic with the webs, I didn't even know what Bokeh was, I was just testing out a 50mm 1.8 on a crop body, and it came out pretty cool.

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

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

[crisone]

Haha…....I didn't trip off that, good one, yeah, when my oldest was about 2, everytime I took a pic of her, she would do that.

Here's another I forgot, just edited:

The pedal is too close to the border of the pic, urking me…...
