Pulled this off with the kit lens.

Can you explain what makes this a "bokeh test"?

Looks like a cloth with very little total depth of field. Consequently, it would seem to me to be about as far from a test of bokeh as you can get. I clearly must be missing something important.

Well, yes it is a cloth, with a background of spring plants and flowers. I wanted to see how the S3 IS would handle it if focused with a wide aperture on the very thinly-woven cloth curtain -- would it produce a soft, pleasantly out-of-focus background? It did, which fits my definition of bokeh! Perhaps I could have done better with my DSLR, but the point of the exercise was to see what a decent compact could do...

The same shot with a wider aperture, BTW, showed the background in considerable detail, so the softness was not due to the cloth but to the wider aperture, hence the term bokeh.

Seems a lot of folks have a different idea of what bokeh is than I do. That's apparent based upon the submissions in this thread.

I've always felt that bokeh isn't just an out-of-focus foreground/background, but more a melange of unrecognizable shapes or objects or colors in the background (or foreground) which are so out of focus that they sort of merge to form a smooth / cloudy / dreamy effect, relative to the pinpoint and shallow plane of focus as produced with a wide aperture lens.

This may not be the dictionary definition, but it's how I perceive of bokeh.

If everyone agreed with me then this thread would be much shorter!

Well said.
There's a lot here that are just OOF B/G.

It's the same sort of misconception that some people have about HDR processing IMO.

Thinly veiled slam against a lot of great photos that have been posted here. That is the kind of post you might think about - but not really post. I think that there are different LEVELS of bokeh and that is what you are seeing in this thread.

I think that the thread is the perfect length as is, personally. If everyone agreed with you I think that the forum could be a very boring place.

I believe everyone has a different eye and when some looks great to one person can look awful to another. However, you have to remember...most of us are new, so we try to add to the forum topic...not just cause we know, its also cause we dont know =)

The forums are here for everyone, if they are noobs or a career photography...which makes this board the great place it is =)

Well now. There's a whopper of a distorted misinterpretation if I ever saw one.
The fact is there was no slam - veiled nor blatant - intended by my post at all, despite your inferences - I simply put forth my perception of what I feel represents bokeh, contrasted with what others (yourself included) may see as qualifying for the term; and that would apparently be a much broader definition than mine.

Finally there was no complaint inherent in my post regarding the length of this thread, nor any aspersions made as to the quality of the images posted. The reference to thread length was made in reference to my posited definition.

But I think you knew all that. ;)

I submit we'd be best served by attributing the misunderstanding to the lack of nuance and inflection on an internet forum, lest we now begin to disagree on bore vs. boor.

couldnt you have just focused on something else at the same distance not obstructing the background ???

Jitan,

[tonylong]

couldnt you have just focused on something else at the same distance not obstructing the background ???

Perhaps, but the background was so visible through the cloth I wanted to see what the S3 IS could do by focusing only on the cloth and letting the background just be "bokeh".

I wasn't using my DSLR for this and was just concentrating on what the S3 could do in terms of bokeh so this was just an experimental shot. But, for those who are still using "advanced" P&S cameras, it may be somewhat instructional...
