Yeah, it was definitely photoshopped. Look at the first subjects feet, blurred. But his shirt is in focus. Just sayin.

Choderboy I like a long knob ![]() More info | May 07, 2011 17:32 | #63 CanonEOS wrote in post #12365056 ![]() In fact the human eye can see more than A million Billion megagpixels in colours so why is the DSLR camera campanries holding back on the MP cameras today? Our eyes can see 0fps, 24fps, 1200fps, 600fps or 1,000,000fps, but we are made to use only 30fps? in vdeo?. The human brain is the most complex thing in existence (so far). It can make 100 trillion calculations per second, The eye can see in practice, objects 0.04mm wide also human eye see about a a 160 degree wide So you are telling me when you walk or drive your eyes only see one subject? No camera is better then a human eye.

kf095 Out buying Wheaties ![]() More info | May 07, 2011 20:01 | #68 WRAG wrote in post #12358649 ![]() I have just started to try and take more advanced photos and been researching and learning a lot over the past few weeks. I have learned that photos with a blurred background, more DOF are considered better than photos where the entire scene is focused, at least for sports and portraits. Not so much for landscapes. Am I the only one that does not think a blurred background is pleasing, in any setting? In my sports photos, I like to see the faces of the other people in the crowd, the other kids on the field etc. I think it adds to the excitment of the game. I do not like to have the main subject in focus and everything behind him blurry so you cannot even tell what is in the background. Maybe I will come around to appreciate the better quality of blurred background as I know the majority think it is better, but I just don't get it. Anyone else had this thought when they first got into photos and then learned to appreciate the blurred backgrounds? Get UWA lens, set it to f8 or higher, prefous at something nearby and get close to our main object. Everything, more less, will be in focus. Old Site

I expect you also spell "too loose" as "to lose"? Main Entry: bokeh Part of Speech: n Definition: a Japanese term for the subjective aesthetic quality of out-of-focus areas of a photographic image Example: The bokeh, or quality of the blurred image in the photograph, was described and discussed.

Indecent Exposure Goldmember ![]() 3,402 posts Joined Jan 2007 Location: Austin, Texas More info | May 08, 2011 14:03 | #73 As much fun as it is to have the debate on the changing definition of the term bokeh with the proprietors of the English language, another point of the conversation seems like it could use a little clearing up. Some have said that blurring backgrounds and leaving the subject in focus best approximates how the human eye perceives the world. Are we sure this is true? Wouldn't an effect more similar to what a Lensbaby does be more in line with how we actually perceive the world? The actual point of focus and attention of the human eye seems to be very small, and it certainly doesn't seem to follow DoF rules. - James -

Lots of old stuff but hey I am a student
