Shooting the sigma 18-35 wide open, at 35mm, and close to the minimum focus distance on the canon 100d/sl1 in aperture priority, but paying attention to shutter speed to capture the corrosion from the sea spray on this chain-link fence. I can't decide if I would like just a little more depth of field since only the very front of the fence is in sharp focus.
In photography, bokeh (Originally play /ˈboʊkɛ/,[1] play /ˈboʊkeɪ/ boh-kay, and also sometimes heard as play /ˈboʊkə/ boh-kə,[2] Japanese: [boke]) is the blur,[3][4] or the aesthetic quality of the blur,[5][6][7] in out-of-focus areas of an image, or "the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light."[8] Differences in lens aberrations and aperture shape cause some lens designs to blur the image in a way that is pleasing to the eye, while others produce blurring that is unpleasant or distracting—"good" and "bad" bokeh, respectively.[3] Bokeh occurs for parts of the scene that lie outside the depth of field. Photographers sometimes deliberately use a shallow focus technique to create images with prominent out-of-focus regions.
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.[3] However, bokeh is not limited to highlights; blur occurs in all out-of-focus regions of the image.
Lost in a field of tall grass. Hidden amongst the unending uniformity. Naked to the world. Exposed to father sky. Supported by mother earth.

"Bokeh-tastic!!"
Well, the nifty fifty is only working on manual focus, thought I might as well make the best of a bad job. Here's my new fibre-optic tree :-)

Busy day trying to make some progress on my paper, so just took some quick shots in the laundry room. No, we don't normally have chains hanging from the ceiling. Except when I've really pissed K off... TMI?
OK - they were just off to the side and I thought I'd hang them up from some hooks on the ceiling and see how the light worked. It worked good enough because I've got work to do tonight yet.

...and there's not a lot more to say about this shot really. Other than - what is it? Does anyone know?
