In photography, bokeh is the aesthetic quality of the blur produced in out-of-focus parts of an image. Bokeh has also been defined as the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light. Differences in lens aberrations and aperture shape cause very different bokeh effects. Some lens designs blur the image in a way that is pleasing to the eye, while others produce distracting or unpleasant blurring (good and bokeh, respectively). Photographers may deliberately use a shallow focus technique to create images with prominent out-of-focus regions, accentuating their lens's bokeh.
Bokeh is often most visible around small background highlights, such as specular reflections and light sources, which is why it is often associated with such areas. However, bokeh is not limited to highlights; blur occurs in all regions of an image which are outside the depth of field.
The term comes from the Japanese word boke (暈け or ボケ), which means blur or haze, or boke-aji (ボケ味), the blur quality. This is derived as a noun form of the verb bokeru, which is written in several ways, with additional meanings and nuances: 暈ける refers to being blurry, hazy or out-of-focus, whereas the 惚ける and 呆ける spellings refer to being mentally hazy, befuddled, childish, senile, or playing stupid. Jisaboke (時差ボケ) (literally, time difference fog) is the term for jet lag. Nebokeru (寝ぼける ) is a verb denoting the actions or condition of someone who is half-asleep, or nodding off. Tobokeru means playing dumb, and toboketa kao refers to a poker face. The related term bokashi (暈かし) means intentional blurring or gradation; that is a noun form of the transitive verb bokasu 暈す which means to make something blurry, rather than to be blurry.
The English spelling bokeh was popularized in 1997 in Photo Techniques magazine, when Mike Johnston, the editor at the time, commissioned three papers on the topic for the May/June 1997 issue; he altered the spelling to suggest the correct pronunciation to English speakers, saying it is properly pronounced with bo as in bone and ke as in Kenneth, with equal stress on either syllable. The spellings bokeh and boke have both been in use since at least 1996, when Merklinger had suggested or Bokeh if you prefer. The term bokeh has appeared in photography books as early as 1998. It is sometimes pronounced /ˈboʊkə/ BOH-kə.

The Galápagos tortoise complex or Galápagos giant tortoise complex is a species complex of 15 very large tortoise species in the genus Chelonoidis. They are the largest living species of tortoise, with some modern Galápagos tortoises weighing up to 417 kg. With lifespans in the wild of over 100 years, they are one of the longest-lived vertebrates. Captive Galapagos tortoises can live up to 177 years. For example, a captive individual, Harriet, lived for at least 175 years. Spanish explorers, who discovered the islands in the 16th century, named them after the Spanish galápago, meaning "tortoise".

Una tarde que tuve libre, de las pocas que tengo al cabo del año, me acerqué a esta localización. Hacía unos meses ya había estado por lo que sabía que me iba a gustar. La mar estaba calentita ese día y el cielo fue de esos amenazantes, de hecho llovía, y con zonas del horizonte despejado. No me pude acercar todo lo que quise a la escena precisamente por la fuerza con la que pegaba así que tiramos un poco de zoom. Se nota que me gustan las cascadas, no?. Tuve un momento bastante mejor un rato antes, pero tuve que cambiar de sitio porque en ese lado no había quien aguantara de las arremetidas del mar

Un atardecer que me dio por ir a buscar olas chocando contra las rocas me encontré con un montón de flores al borde de los acantilados, y claro, no me pude resistir.

El domingo madrugué porque la previsión no era del todo mala, pero se adelantó un par de horas la historia. Y lo que deberían haber sido nubes altas fueron medias que terminaron en lluvia cubriendo el horizonte. Así que pensando en si sacar o no la cámara eché un vistazo por los alrededores encontrando posibilidades en las rocas que detrás de mi había. Hice las 27 fotos que componen la imagen , la volví a repetir por si las moscas y a otra cosa.
Me resultaron muy curiosas esas rocas partidas de color dorado por dentro que contrastan con el ambiente azulado que había y que van un poco guiando hacia el sujeto (el que escribe) y su mirada hacia la montaña del fondo (Islares). Me he prometido a mi mismo volver con una luz mejor (la verdad es que era demasiado pobre para poder jugar más en edición) y mejorar la composición haciéndola un poco más equilibrada.
Buena semana a todos!!

Trinity Church is a historic parish church in the Episcopal Diocese of New York, at the intersection of Wall Street and Broadway in the Financial District of Lower Manhattan in New York City. Known for its history, location, architecture and endowment, Trinity is a traditional high church, with an active parish centered around the Episcopal Church and the worldwide Anglican Communion in missionary, outreach, and fellowship. In addition to its main facility, Trinity operates two chapels: St. Paul's Chapel, and the Chapel of St. Cornelius the Centurion on Governors Island. The Church of the Intercession, the Trinity Chapel Complex and many other of Anglican congregations in Manhattan were part of Trinity at one point.
The current building is the third constructed for Trinity Church, and was designed by Richard Upjohn in the Gothic Revival style. The first Trinity Church building was a single-story rectangular structure facing the Hudson River, which was constructed in 1698 and destroyed in the Great New York City Fire of 1776. The second Trinity Church was built facing Wall Street and was consecrated in 1790. The current church building was erected from 1839 to 1846 and was the tallest building in the United States until 1869, as well as the tallest in New York City until 1890. In 1876–1877 a reredos and altar were erected in memory of William Backhouse Astor Sr., to the designs of architect Frederick Clarke Withers.
The church building is adjacent to the Trinity Churchyard, one of three used by the church. Besides its building, Trinity manages real estate properties with a combined worth of over $6 billion as of 2019 . Trinity's main building is a National Historic Landmark as well as a New York City designated landmark. It is also a contributing property to the Wall Street Historic District, a NRHP district created in 2007.

Estar ahí en medio, contemplativo, calmado, pero a la vez con la adrenalina por las nubes, te hace sentir minúsculo, pero también muy afortunado. La grandeza de las cosas no se mide por el valor económico, si no por lo que te hacen sentir. Momentos como estos no se pueden pagar con dinero.
FELIZ NAVIDAD. A todos os deseo muchos momentos como este el próximo año. Y si los podéis vivir en buena compañía como yo, mejor que mejor. @rafadiez78 @mardonss. Han sido muchos los compañeros con los que he disfrutado este último año. Por muchos momentos más con todos vosotros!!.

El vigilante de los Urros, inclinada pero imponente roca en la costa quebrada cántabra que atrae la mirada en cuanto pones los pies ahí abajo. El momento en el que puedes relajarte porque la bajada no es apta para los que padecen vértigo. Tarde guapa siempre con @rafadiez78 y @j.argumosa.photo

Otra más de este espectáculo de la naturaleza. Deseando que llegue el otoño para volver a visitarla con otro vestido. Esta primavera mis tarjetas SD hacen agua y verdín.

Otro intento más de ser original en un lugar tan híper fotografiado que se queda en eso, en intento. Me quedo con lo que me divertí y sudé para poder conseguirla. El lugar en el que estaba colocado se rompía literalmente haciendo que me resbalara constantemente. Una pena que el dragón esté varado en la arena y no se pudiera ver más que una pequeña parte de la cresta en el agua. Lo dicho, mucha diversión y más con la compañía de Rachel (posando) @grulla_otonal_photo , Alex @naturasphoto_ y su chica .
En cuanto a la imagen, unas 90 fotos para la panorámica y bracketing que me han tenido entretenido unas pocas horas

Prevost's squirrel or Asian tri-colored squirrel is a colourful species of rodent in the family Sciuridae. It is found in forests in the Thai-Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, Borneo and nearby smaller islands, with an introduced population in northern Sulawesi. Although the Prevost's squirrel is declining is some regions because of habitat loss and hunting, the species is not considered threatened since it generally remains common and widespread. It can live in somewhat disturbed habitats and often visits plantations or gardens. It mostly feeds on plant material, especially fruits, but also takes insects.
