gareth_c Posted June 24, 2006 Share #2 Posted June 24, 2006 Wow...the background bokeh is lovely. Almost makes me ignore the main subject, until I see her great expression and lighting. A great capture. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lambroving Posted June 24, 2006 Share #4 Posted June 24, 2006 Kurt, Looks better over here. Did you do some more post-processing on it or is it just a different crop? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

franklinh Posted June 24, 2006 Share #6 Posted June 24, 2006 All these uses of the word bokeh, made me look up the term on Wikipedia. Here is a brief excerpt from the article: Bokeh (from the Japanese boke ぼけ, "blur"[1]) is a photographic term describing the subjective aesthetic qualities of out-of-focus areas in an image produced by a camera lens. For example, causing an out-of-focus background image may reduce distractions and emphasize the primary subject. Although difficult to quantify, and hence open to debate, some lenses are believed to enhance overall image quality by producing more subjectively pleasing out-of-focus areas (bokeh). Bokeh is especially important for large-aperture lenses, macro lenses, and long telephoto lenses because they are typically used with a narrow depth of field. Bokeh is also important for "portrait lenses" (typically medium telephoto — 85–150 mm on 35-mm format) because the photographer would typically select a shallow depth of field (wide aperture) to have an out of focus background and make the subject stand out.

stuny Posted June 25, 2006 Share #8 Posted June 25, 2006 Kurt - Just fabulous! I'm knocked out by the backlighting, the overall exposure, the captured exuberance, the lovely bokeh, and the focus on the child. Stuart Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
