Photography Round 23

[Revels]

Time for the next round.

The last theme was "Candid" and Gaz won with..

So his theme for the next round is..

Bokeh (Wiki)

Comp runs from now until midnight Tues 29th Sept. Any photos entered must be taken between now and midnight 29th Sept.

Rules:

- Post a maximum of 3 images at one time, you can come back with more pics if you have tried something different, but please stick to 3 pics max each time.

- You must flag one image as your entry, feel free to repost your chosen image towards the end of the comp with 'entry' above it, this will be placed into a new thread at the end of the alloted time for people to vote on.

I will no longer be automatically taking the first image somebody posts, only images with entry clearly written above or below it will be accepted

- Try to keep posted images to a max of around 800px wide.

- No rules on photoshop use etc, but this is first and foremost a photography contest, not a photoshop contest.

- All images entered must be taken within the dates of the competition specified above.

- Winner chooses next subject

- Revels apologies for stealing Chris' rules! lol..

[The Boosh!]

how can you take these sorts of shots with the kit lense ... Even with the narrowest apature on my kit lense it only gives off a bit of "bokeh" No chance winning this time me no thinks.

 

[clairemae]

ohhh bokeh.... i may have to enter this one with my bokeh friendly lens on the way

Easy. Bokeh can be FULLY BLURRED! You can get a good bokeh at 55mm with the 18-55mm that comes on Nikons anyway.

So no excuses, pictures can have everything out of focus, or just the majority out of focus.

 

[The Boosh!]

Iv had a play on Photoshop. My lense issue has now been iradicated

 

[Gaz.]

Or you can do it that way too!

 

[clairemae]

"lens blur" done. lol

I want to enter my berries shot

 

[Revels]

So what is bokeh?

 

[Gaz.]

I want to enter my berries shot

Go take it again then greg!

 

[pip.]

Typical. I specialize in blurred, sorry, bokeh photos as a rule, but I don't think I could do it on demand.

 

[clairemae]

You had a good one yesterday was it?

yeah i bought it yesterday just waiting for it being delivered

you have an excuse to go on another walk lol.

 

[Gaz.]

No sorry, a pic of breakfast cuppa was it?

I know you got the lens because I sat cursing you all evening wishing I had one.

 

[Ian]

Lol, get the feeling we'll break the trend of 13 entries this time. Right up a few people's street this one!

 

[Nik.g]

I might give this a go! Quite like the DIY Bokeh vid.

 

[Soph]

Everyone is good at blurry photos!

 

[Andy.]

Well done Gaz. Should make for some interesting shots!

 

[Pete.]

Now it's turning into a Blue Peter thread with here's a lens cover I made earlier out of a cereal packet. If i stop taking the tablets I am sure that I will get this blurred background with the shakes.

 

[Pete.]

Just looked for something and yet again I have a perfect picture that I can't submit. Is this bokeh?

 

[LaurenF]

Don't have the equipment to take part but here's a useful/interesting link

[5parky]

Some great pictures in that link, thanks for sharing! I think i might be able to have a go at this one.

 

[The Boosh!]

THIS IS NOT AN ENTRY! BUT...

Can someone tell me if this is bokeh? Just so i have an idea from the pictures iv already took?

 

[Feirny]

Yes it is Luke.

 

[The Boosh!]

Ahh. My lense isn't that bad afterall

 

[Tigger]

Looks good but the door looks open lol

 

[mace¬]

So what is bokeh?

I seriously thought it was going to be some Japanese sex game phtotography or something.

 

[Rob Clark]

dissapointed then

 

[Nik.g]

I seriously thought it was going to be some Japanese sex game phtotography or something.

You don't need fancy DSLRs to take photos with Bokeh in them.

 

[Revels]

Right, here's attempt 1. I say that because I <3 teh bokeh so I shall probably try a few different things. This was tough enough to do by myself, will need an assistant for the next idea! lol..

Flickr cliché to the max!!

 

[The Boosh!]

Dan what apeture and shizen was you using for that shot. loooks great.

 

[Gaz.]

You truly are a bokeh wh0re!
