Bokeh Monster Thread

[ngwmk]

Yes they do... My friend just got one brand new... heavy though

Bro.. u saw any samples... worth the $$? Just thought that the bokeh is very unique..

Seeing so many "bokeh" shots here, just wondering: how to produce really nice bokeh shot like this one - glimmer or this?

I don't believe it's because those were shot in film. These shots are just different. So artistic and beautiful!

I think they look a bit creepy and remind me too much on mobile phone app filters.

Reminds me of the Lomography's Petzval lens?
I maybe be wrong.

But this guys is really good I must say, I mean his photos are consistently quite beautiful... surrealism...

This is an app for almost anything these days, let alone bokeh But no, that guy Tommy did not use an app to create bokeh shot. He is famous for shooting with a Noctilux. See THIS. There is an interesting view about Bokeh therein. Quote: "Bokeh is not a magic wand to make the photography anything special by itself. Don't make "Bokeh" to be a purpose, it's always just a result in your own creative process. "

Thank you. I'll let the model know.

It's the typical Helios bokeh.

Too bad it was on crop sensor. I'm sure full frame would produce a better result.

Spent a few hours this morning waiting for sunbirds. It rained and they didn't show up . So shot this instead.

There were none in the little garden where I always go to wait for sunbirds. Thought of going to Admiralty Park, then the sky opened up again.

Love the shot of the guy with the crossed arm, nice reportage / street shot. The 3rd & 4th shot has nice isolation & the MC Rokkor bokeh :thumbsup:.

R u using macro lens? U can try Hort park. Quite a lot of interesting insects n flowers.

Glad u like d shots. This lens is very useful in low light shots wide open at f/1.2.

Haha... Glad U love them too... That's the point of getting the f/1.2 lens... to shoot wide open for Bokehlicious shots... I m able to get cleaner shots in such dimly lit conditions on the streets...
