We are traveling in the Eastern Sierras this week with our grandson and internet connection has been really hit and miss... this is a picture of the Aspen at June Lake.... it is so beautiful.
Some tea moments captured with NEX-5 and Pentax SMC 50mm F/1.4 on MF. Nice bokeh, I would probably use these lenses quite a lot...
I challenged myself to shoot a bokeh shot using one of my slower lenses - only f5.0 on this shot. It taught me that I needed greater separation between my subject and the background.
Como todos devem saber eu adoro bokeh e meio que já é uma característica nas minhas fotos porque a maioria delas tem algum desfoque.
Fiz essa foto quando estava voltando da casa da minha vó e sei lá, gostei bastante dessa edição "diferente".
Ah, ja ia me esquecendo. Hoje começa minha faculdade, me desejem sorte pra não chegar lá e ser uma coisa tosca como eu imagino que seja .-.
This capture along the Pacific Coast line, I framed to give it a unique Bokeh look!
Hope you enjoy this view....
Picture Winter : Beyond the Chill
Day 14
Prompt: Today, no matter what the wintery weather, walk outside and scour your landscape for a bit of forgotten beauty. Then pull the focus in tight and see what you find. Winter has its own magic beyond icicles and snow. I challenge you to move beyond the frost and seek the beauty that exists just beyond it for it is there. It's your job today to find it.

Still battling with those compression algorithms used by Flickr - some of the shadow detail in the bokeh is bleeding......
The base of the sign warning that walking out onto the breakwater structure was a thing done at my own risk.

A bit of a return to Flickr after having been far too busy with work to even pick up a camera for quite some time.
From my observations, come Wednesday, flickrians who choose to honor the bokeh day would mainly opt for flowers as their upload.
So then it leads to a question in my head; why flowers become popular subject to be associated with bokeh? One thing for certain, bokeh can appear in any images for that matter, not just flowers. And the irony is, more often than not, I myself would jump on the bandwagon with flowers for the HBW as well.
I have a theory to make: Flowers are popular because by nature they are mostly beautiful and largely regarded as icon for beauty. With the presence of the blurry effects in the background of an image that we call it as “bokeh”, it provides better contrasts for the in-focus flower in the foreground and thus, it distinctly manifests on its clarity and beauty. Or maybe due to other reasons only psychologists know best.
Frankly, I don’t quite have an answer to it.
Slightly more than a year ago when I first activated my flickr account, I was wondering over a strange word found in others’ photostreams. In the past many years of my life even in my English classes at the university level, I couldn’t recall stumbling upon such word as “bokeh”, let alone using it in my sentence. The only “bokeh” that I knew prior to this was a word in our localized dialect that means “to uproot”. For instance, “Bokeh pohon nyor”, means “to uproot a coconut tree” (An action where a coconut tree is deracinated or pulled out by the roots in an effort to conserve the tree and transfer it somewhere else – or to get rid of it totally)
Well, now I know another meaning of “bokeh”, thanks to Wikipedia for helping me with the meaning of it in photographic term.
HBW everyone!
I brought my long lens to Central Park looking for opportunities to create bokeh balls in the background. This squirrel scampered onto a rock near me and helpfully stopped in good light with tree leaves and the sky in the background.
More photos from Central Park are in my set
