Challenge #101 - Bokeh
*************** ***************

Wikipedia defines Bokeh as
"Japanese (external link) boke ぼけ, "blur") is a photographic (external link)camera (external link) lens (external link).[1] (external link) Different lens bokeh produces different aesthetic qualities in out-of-focus (external link) backgrounds, which are often used to reduce distractions and emphasize the primary subject."

It can be anything as long as the quality of the OOF is pleasing. So let your imagination run wild or rummage through your collection for your best bokeh images!

Auto mode! :(

That bokeh was accidental. I had my S2 for a month or so, I didn't even know what bokeh was, I just snapped a dozen of pics of this little guy on P mode... :o
