Dia de Bokeh!!! Bokeh na fotografia, nada mais é do que essas "bolinhas" presentes na imagem. As bolinhas são as Luzes desfocadas. Com o diafragma BEM aberto, se uma luz estiver distante do plano de Foco, ela passa através da sua objetiva(lente) e toma a forma do diafragma, que quanto mais aberto, mais próximo de um círculo ele fica. Nessa foto usei um F 2.0 - Velocidade 1/13 - ISO 800.

Meyer-Optik Görlitz Oreston 50mm f 1.8

Hidden within the emerald embrace of the forest floor, a lone mushroom stands bathed in golden light. A quiet world unfolds in the smallest corners of nature, where life thrives in delicate silence. Captured with a soft bokeh and warm tones, this image invites you into a tranquil moment of stillness and wonder.

Beneath the hush of leaves and golden sunlight, spring begins to bloom quietly — tender, gentle, and full of promise. Captured during golden hour, this moment reflects the soft rebirth that nature sings when no one’s watching.

Shot with my 1964 Carl Zeiss Jena Pancolar 50mm F/1.8 rare 8 aperture blade version.

 

This East German Zeiss was manufactured until 1991 and was usually found attached to Praktikas via the M42 mount.

 

This lens was produced with rare-earth compounds containing lanthanum are extensively used in carbon lighting applications, especially by the motion picture industry for studio lighting and projection. Lanthanum (III) oxide is used in some camera lenses. It’s added to reduce dispersion and improve the clarity of images.

Scientific research has explored grounding for inflammation, cardiovascular disease, muscle damage, chronic pain, and mood.

The central theory from one review studyTrusted Source is that grounding affects the living matrix, which is the central connector between living cells.

Electrical conductivity exists within the matrix that functions as an immune system defense, similar to antioxidants. They believe that through grounding, the natural defenses of the body can be restored. Further research expands on this idea.

In a small studyTrusted Source on grounding and heart health, 10 healthy participants were grounded using patches on the palms of their hands and soles of their feet.

Blood measurements were taken before and after grounding to determine any changes in red blood cell fluidity, which plays a role in heart health. The results indicated significantly less red blood cell clumping after grounding, which suggests benefits for cardiovascular health.

Another slightly larger studyTrusted Source examined the role of grounding on post-exercise muscle damage. Researchers used both grounding patches and mats and measured creatine kinase, white blood cell count, and pain levels before and after grounding.

Blood work indicated that grounding reduced muscle damage and pain in participants. This suggests that grounding may influence healing abilities.

This research is supported by a recent studyTrusted Source on grounding for pain reduction and mood improvement. Sixteen massage therapists alternated between periods of grounding and no grounding.

Before grounding therapy, physical and emotional stress and pain were common side effects of their physically demanding jobs. After the earthing therapy, pain, stress, depression, and fatigue were all reduced among participants.

Most of the studies on grounding are small and rely somewhat on subjective measures, such as self-reported feelings, mood, or even self-administered treatment.

Some studies also rely on blood markers, such as those that detect inflammation, but the size and shortage of these studies suggests that more research is needed.

 

Types of grounding or earthing

 

There are many types of grounding. All of them focus on reconnecting yourself to the earth. This can be done through either direct or indirect contact with the earth.

 

Walking barefoot

 

Have you ever been outside on a warm summer day and felt the urge to run barefoot in the grass? One of the easiest ways to ground yourself to the earth is to walk barefoot.

Whether this is on grass, sand, or even mud, allowing your skin to touch the natural ground can provide you with grounding energy.

 

Lying on the ground

 

You can increase your skin-to-earth contact by lying on the ground. You can do it in the grass by the park or on the sand at the beach.

If you’re going to ground yourself in this way, be sure to take the proper precautions and never lie somewhere you could be injured.

 

Submersing in water

 

According to advocates for grounding, water may be used to ground in the same way the physical earth is used for grounding.

They suggest simply wading in a clear lake or swimming in the ocean as a way to ground yourself. As always, be sure to stay safe when swimming, especially in murky or deep waters.

 

Using grounding equipment

 

When going outside to ground yourself isn’t an option, there are alternativesTrusted Source. One method of earthing involves connecting a metal rod to the ground outside and then connecting the rod to your body through a wire.

If you’re not comfortable using a metal rod to ground yourself, there’s other grounding equipment available. This equipment is an effective way to incorporate earthing therapy into your daily life and includes:

 

grounding mats

 

grounding sheets or blankets

 

grounding socks

 

grounding bands and patches

 

You can find grounding mats, sheets, blankets, socks, and bands online.
