I think this is one of those tongue twisters you have to say three times.

Thanks to everyone who takes the time to view, comment, and fave my photo.

A person without a sense of humor is like a wagon without springs. It's jolted by every pebble on the road.

I sometimes get a kick out of the way that idioms don't always translate from one language to another. English is full of idioms that I'm sure seem quite foolish in other languages, and I've certainly seen a number of funny idioms from other languages to English. Case in point is the lens I'm reviewing. The manufacturer is a Chinese company (Venus Optics) that is making a name for itself by offering up very innovative, unique lenses. Laowa (Venus Optics) refers to this lens in their promotional materials as the "bokeh dreamer". So what do you think? Does this bokeh set you to dreaming? Something unique about this lens is that it actually uses two apertures to give you control over the bokeh. I've shot this image at f/2, but used a T-stop of t/4 to make the depth of field a little less shallow. See more images from the Laowa here: bit.ly/1XYKumd

O jogo de Go originou-se na China e suas primeiras referências conhecidas datam do século VI a.C (548 a.C.,Zuo Zhuan). Alguns estudiosos acreditam que o tabuleiro tenha evoluído de algum utensílio utilizado para marcar datas e épocas do ano. Uma lenda no entanto diz que o jogo foi criado como um instrumento do imperador Yao( 2337 - 2258 a.C.) para educar seu filho Danzhu, na disciplina, concentração e equilíbrio. Outros acreditam que o jogo tenha sido criado com propósitos divinatórios, para controle de enchentes ou ainda para simbolizar a ordem cosmológica. O jogo também teria sido usado por generais chineses para estabelecer estratégias de guerra.

O jogo foi introduzido no Japão em 735 d.C. por um monge budista chamado Kibi Dajin, e logo tornou-se popular entre as diversas classes sociais. No Japão o jogo tornou-se consistente e este país foi o primeiro a estabelecer um sistema de jogadores profissionais com rating e ranking. Em 1924 neste país foi fundada a Nihon Ki-in uma academia com caráter acadêmico e federativo voltado para a propagação do Go através de torneios e concessão de títulos aos jogadores.

O tabuleiro de Go possui 19 linhas em cada direção, os 361 cruzamentos no tabuleiro representam o número de dias no ano e os quatro cantos correspondem às quatro estações. Entre outras analogias, das pedras brancas e pretas, estão o Ying-Yang, Homem-Mulher....

This is my first macro shot with my new lens.

Over the last few weeks I've been having my patio done. Yesterday we had torrential rain so had no workman and the partially laid new patio slabs were covered with tarpaulin. However in the afternoon the sun came out and shone on all the wonderful water droplets.

 

Naturally created heart bokeh at the top of the photo.

 

Thanks for looking.

Inspired by FlickrFriday theme #Bokeh

If you ever find yourself in Westminster, Colorado, just north of Denver, I highly recommend an early morning trip to the Butterfly Pavilion, one of the first non-profit insect zoos in the United States. It’s conservatory has over 1,200 butterflies of various species, sizes and colors. It takes a little while for your lens to adapt to the rainforest humidity, so bringing a lens cloth is highly recommended, but I thoroughly enjoyed exploring compositions and capturing these little beauties using a wide aperture with my telephoto lens for a bokeh effect.

Bokeh Leaves!

Got some old manual lens and using it with Sony a3000. Got the final part today and went outside to practice. Fun to learn more and discover manual focus/lenses. This was done with Canon FD 50mm 1.8 at f/1.8.
