Friday Town Shootout - Bokeh











I loved this assignment for the Friday My town shoot out, but boy I found it hard and I do not think I created what officially is bokeh, in which is a Japanese term for blur. I will have to try harder on this subject as when I went to shoot out and about it was just all fuzzy! I own a wee point and shoot camera and researched well on the photography subject and although it is possible with a point and shoot,due to it's limited settings (aperture I think it is called, see did my research!) it is very hard. Thank you so much for this topic and many of the topics we have covered, it has inspired me to take some photography lessons! I must go now and check out all your posts and see how bokeh is really done! Have a great weekend!

  1. Claire - we will have to wait for the experts to tell us if yours are correct.... I don't know. I have a few to show and will put them up tomorrow after i look at what I did today.... sometimes I get the effect without trying and would like to do it ON PURPOSE!

  2. Oh how beautiful- I am pretty sure this is the correct camera conception of bokeh- I was taught once last summer with my new camera...

  4. Your pictures are beautiful and your use of bokeh works.

    Who could ask for anything more?

  8. Beautiful! I'm just learning too. This technique has all kinds of possibilities. I think it takes a lot of practice.

  9. My camera does not have the ability to do this either and I guess I did not spend much time trying to figure it out. Just had to sit it out. You did an excellent job. I do like the results.

  13. so many of us have tried this Bokeh thingy. What do I know, I think the fire place must be a Bokeh.

    Cheers,

    Happy Easter.
