I forgot to have a Singha beer as the prop..

Bokeh is defined as “the effect of a soft out-of-focus background that you get when shooting a subject, using a fast lens, at the widest aperture, such as f/2.8 or wider.” Simply put, bokeh is the pleasing or aesthetic quality of out-of-focus blur in a photograph.

A quick run to my parents' place this weekend meant there was an opportunity for a short photo break, and that was exactly what I did, this time with more bokeh added, and with lenses, I haven't used in quite some time, or never before, even.

Taken with Panasonic GX7 digital mirrorless camera and adapted smc Pentax-M 135mm F3.5 manual telephoto lens on no-name K-m43 adapter. Wide-open aperture, at minimal focusing distance to have as much bokeh as possible. Not bad!

P&S. Nice isnt it?

I was playing with my new Canon G7X and its handheld night shooting feature and I accidentally pressed the shutter button before the AF had time to hunt for focus. Ended up with a picture that looked better than the focused version.

Forgive my late posts. I was sick and coupled with some real awesome headaches, I was at this mode - productivity zero.

Still feeling heavy headed

BUON NATALE

FELIZ NATAL

Thanks for the comments and favorites my friends

Lights of joy just playing with soft bokeh

I find this lens flares too easily. The weird colour you see on the left is caused by internal flare.

Time to fulfill my hummingbird addiction. I saw lots of little Anna's hummingbirds this weekend, but none of my shots were completely spectacular. This is from the archives, a male broad-billed hummingbird in the Hummingbird aviary, Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum.

Obviously, not the best of lighting with him back lit, but bokeh's rather nice, I think. ;-)

looks better sideways anyways ;)

....on my kitchen windowsill..and yes,they are fresh,REAL brown eggs:))

i've come to realise lately that i'm completely obsessed with bokeh.. but only trying to use it to make the photo more effective as a whole.
