Your bird shots are beautiful, but have no bokeh. It may just as well have been a grey card behind the subject.

Bokeh is the out of focus background in an image.

Very creative Stu! With the focal point framed by all the different vertical and horizontal lines, it has a collage look to it...

Thank you dilorenzo - I never thought of it in that fashion.... just struck my eye as a nice composition ... but I think collage is an excellent description. Now, if I can only convince my wife of its merits :lol:.

Nicely done dvboy - I especially like the lighting effect you got on the faucet. It sort of adds to the "fluid" effect and gives it some depth while still being separated from the background. - Stu

Very impressive! With tripod or handheld? I've been lusting after that lens for awhile, except I'm afraid I'll end up selling it just like I did the 70-200 2.8 IS. (Too heavy, didn't use it enough to justify having it). I've never actually seen one in person, but I know they're rather gigantic haha. Maybe someday :)

[_aravena]

^*gasp* You sold a 70-200 IS!?! I've yet to find weight an issue, even when I rented the 100-400L. I think it's all made up, this insane weight or I'm just young and used to lifting heavy things.

It feels heavy to me when I first pick it up, but once I start shooting I don't notice the weight at all.

Handheld. At about five pounds the Bigma can start getting heavy at the end of a soccer match ... but for flowers its not a big deal. Not many people shoot flowers with a 500 ... lol.

Haha yes I did. I'm a girl :lol: Coming from a Rebel XT, a 5D with that lens was like trying to lift a boulder. I had to set aside times just to use it, and it was too much of a PITA. I got back exactly what I paid for it and used that money much more efficiently (for me, at least) the 2nd time around :)

fiveFPS, I think that is definitely a "bokeh shot" - so well done! That said, and I always forget about this myself so it's rich coming from me, background is important to consider and those three pillars (?) are slightly distracting... Maybe if you had taken the shot from another angle (or even a very low-angle, looking up at the subject with the sky as a backdrop) it would have come out even better. Just a thought :) Keep posting!

Hey FZ_ZA. Thanks for your response. I was under the impression that the bokeh shots require a focused shot of an object and the rear to be blurred. That's why I wanted to find something in the back I can blur out. But I didn't know I can use the sky as a the backdrop of the shot, this will make the shots a lot easier =).

Thanks again. I'll be posting soon when I go through the other photos.

Great pictures so far, keep it going people ;)


These two would be decorating my displays at the moment:

Did have to cut off the lower bokeh a bit first though, because it was too disturbing for a desktop imo.

Two more good ones:

The colours on the first of these really work well I think. The last one could be entered in the super macro guess what it is contest... actually used my macro lens' autofocus for that one, because I held my camera too low to be able to look through the viewfinder :)

These four have all been shot with my 400D with Sigma 105, some (but not all) also involve tripod and wired remote.

More on my website :)

Makes me wonder if the hawk was staring straight at you. Nice shot.. Which lens did you use to take this?

[djeuch]

Exposure Time = 1/400"
F Number = F5.6
Exposure Program = Aperture priority
ISO Speed Ratings = 400
Focal Length = 135mm

Test shot on the first day I had my new Canon 40D w/lens kit... not bad for the 28-135mm!

LM - Champion Bokeh! What lens/camera comination?

[Matoch]

I doubt it's considered a great image but I just got my 70-200 f2.8 IS and this is one of the first pics I took with it.

He probably was :D
40D + 100-400
Oh, and it's a juvenile Bald Eagle

It's beautiful.

LM - Champion Bokeh! What lens/camera comination?

40D + 85 1.8 @ f/2 (FOV equivalent to 136mm f/2 when you consider the crop factor) The poor man's 135 f2L. ;)

Now that's some real Bokeh. Good job Ed.

Thanks, amigo. The 85 1.8 is definitely no slouch. ;)

You miss that lens don't you... ;)

[Lord_Malone]

You miss that lens don't you... ;)

Yes. :( How is she?

[joayne]

Yes. :( How is she?

Quite the beauty.. I do believe that she is headed to Egypt with me. I am making my gear travel decisions and I think the 135 with an extender will give me distance w/out weight. Thanks again :rolleyes:;)

LM I hope you did the bride justice too. I would like to see it. Great shot. With the big debate on a thread about pro vs amateur wedding photographer (are you in the pro camp as your shot is so well composed?).

Pro or amateur? I'll let you be the judge... http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=376641 ;)

One thing I know for certain is that I'm definitely a pro at being an amateur. :eek:

This is a family photo of my relatives taken with the 85L Mk1. Shot wide open. Got the family to stand in a straight line to make sure they were in focus.

Thanks for looking!

This is a fantastic portrait.

[Space]

I agree about the portrait. "Spaceships Don't Come Equipped with Rear View Mirrors" Mine does. One at every 30.

[Tosh-san]

Lord Malone & Space,

Thanks!
This quick grabshot while biking just might be the best shot I've gotten of my rather elusive 7 year old in several years. (^_^)

I must ask, was this with a 5D?
