So Amy got talking about bokeh, and as I downloaded my camera this evening, I came across a few examples of my own, (well I think they are sort of bokeh-ish anyhow!) so I thought I would share...
Fairly ordinary photo of my biggest girl, but note the light shining on the balls and tinsel in the background. That's bokeh. Not the best, by any means, but still....
I like to call this one "windmill bokeh". Actually, not sure that it comes under the heading of bokeh at all, but I just needed any excuse to share this photo, becuase I think it turned out pretty awesome. Even if I do say so myself!
I think this will be my favourite "non person" Christmas image from this year....and notice the small bokeh in the background, in this case the light bouncing off the christmas bells. Of course, I totally planned it that way...not. I did set up the photo and play with apeture (the lowest number I could get), but the result was just how it happened.
So there you have it. Bokeh.
Very cool pics!

ReplyDeleteRounded corner instructions please!
ReplyDeleteLove the shots.
Shannon, Rita @ coffee shop (over there > somewhere is the link) has a rounded corner & resizing for web all-in-one action on her site, and it works with elements.
ReplyDeleteShe also has an ordinary corner rounding action too (doesnt do the web stuff, which is very handy, but I think there is a rounded corner rectangle cookie cutter AND shape tool that works just as well....
Veddy nice!
ReplyDeleteThe flower shot turned out brilliantly - don't you just love it when you see this sort of shot upload? I do - perhaps that's my small mind in action again!
