Created from shots taken at Briton Ferry over a few months - all based on bokeh. It took me hours last night fiddling around in Photoshop - collages are something I rarely do!
another shot of the berberis shrub, taken a few weeks ago when the leaves were still there and covered with frost.
Happy Bokeh Wednesday!
a set with all those frosty sunday morning captures in one place can be found here

Thank you very much for your interest in my photos. I appreciate it :)
Sony A7 + Helios 44-2
Homer Simpson tree ornament with the Christmas tree lights in the background providing the bokeh. HMM and Happy Christmas to all.
This is a version for Retina cameras but not named Retina-Xenon. It has short MFD of 0.5m compared to 0.9 of more common Retina-Xenon. Obviously it has longer barel but other than that it is the same lens optically.
As all Xenons it is a beautiful and precisely made. It is similar optical design to Biotar so it is not surprise that it swirl in right conditions. But it is also capable of creating very smooth aquarelish bokeh too.
If I do not want to exaggerate a bit bokeh affect, no post processing is really needed. Colors are rich and natural. Here I worked hard to restaure the details and some colours in peony flower. It is almost impossible to get right this kind of composition straight out of camera. Something has to give up. Or flower is burnt or background is too dark. Lot of pushing and pulling is needed to make it right in the post. Xenon will render enough informations in RAW file to make it possible. I did not try to remove artifacts and as you may see there is not much of them
This photo is a little surprise. It was not the view initially sought, but I was impressed by the bokeh generated by chains! This is the kind of unexpected that I particularly like in the photograph !
