    Default May 2011 - Creative Bokeh (selective focus)

    this isn't necessarily a creative use of bokeh, but I shot several specifically looking for this level of 'oof', leaves still recognizable, but not enough to warrant another look.



    oh and are you not including the photography.ca blog with those bokeh articles? ; P

    Default Bokeh!

    Nice capture Lizardqing. But 3 things are in focus to me. Face, hands, and cleavage. Where would you guess my eyes go to first. My entry's coming soon. I have a lot of bokeh but wouldn't call much of it creative.

    I'm a little confused about this category this month because I thought we did selective focus just a couple of months ago but based on other's posts I'll add a couple of my own.
