Zuiko Bokeh

[Dan Cattermole]

A totally wasted shot with my OM10 and nifty fifty f/1.4. Has no relevance to anything, not sure why I took it other than to see what the bokeh is like through the zuiko.... And quite bubbly in fact.

Anyway, a meaningless bokeh shot..........

Thanks for bokehlooking

Far from meaningless, Dan. The flower basket on the right looks like a pirate ghost ship drifting in...trouble ahead!

Oh...nice bokeh!

 

[Brian Moore]

It certainly demonstrates the OOF very nicely, Dan.

Well it has a quality that to myself is not meaningless. which means you take a meaningless shot that has meaning, meaning you are a mean photographer.
Nice lenses, I have a few of the Zuiko fifties, only f1.8's though, I 'd quite like their 21 f2 or even f3.5 for a wide lens. They tend to be a wee bit pricier though.

Thanks guys.
This a nice lens and very smooth.

Julian, what I would give to have the 21mm.... But I have nothing. very very pricey indeed.
I'm pretty site that Nihat (once a member on here) had the lens, I maybe completely wrong.

Anyway, this was just an experiment, to see the OOF effect to its full potential.... So I suppose it had meaning, I do talk rubbish sometimes.

Thanks all.

Not rubbish about the price of the 21mm f2. Just had a look around Wow. The f3.5 is expensive but about a quarter of the price. Must keep my eyes wide open
in those junk shops.

Monet bokeh Dan

I like the idea of using the bokeh to make Monet-like photographs. Obviously it was Dan's ideas and he was just playing with us when he said his photo wasn't of anything in particular. Right Dan?

 

[Dan Cattermole]

That's right Paul, I'm happy to admit that this was nothing special or anything in particular.

 

[Beth Carter]

beautifully soft bokeh and color, kinda dreamy.

Simply horrible, Dan, simply horrid, horrendous, what are you doing man?

I'm absolutely disgusted that you @Dan Cattermole can consider this of no particular relevance, I just love the depth of field this gives and am jealous as only have a 1.8 nifty on my Oly!

 

[Dan Cattermole]

Hahahaa!!!! Thanks for the pleasant comments my friend.

If you'd like to borrow it to see how horrid it is.... Give me a shout
