No one posting?

This was taken while I was still sitting in the car. Just asked the driver to stop, wound down the window and snapped a number of shots. The padi fields there can be quite amazing.

very nice panoramic shot

wonder how it might look if that car mirror was remove but then again it kinda makes the shot inteesting

nice attempt

you may want to use a slower shutter and smallest aperture of f8

use Manual to control these

oh a tripod will help tremendously for such settings

very nice clean clear shot

would be nice if that boat was more to the right

how do u guys get the bokeh? wat settings? using manual focus? noob using s5is as well

Think the word you are looking for is thin depth of field (DOF).

Switch the macro mode on. DOF will be really thin.

i think by using the word "bokeh" he is trying to say indirectly how do you get that shaloow DoF background blur using what f-stop settings

so both terms have the same related meaning since "bokeh" means the blur background

Background blur & bokeh are two different things. You can have a nice blur background, with not so great bokeh.

Blur background can be achieved with a smaller f-stop (larger aperture) and with greater distance between the subject and the camera.

Bokeh is more to do with the shape and size of the 'blur disk'. Go google it, there are plenty of sites that give in-depth explanations. No space to write it all down here.

Yeah, I left the side view mirror there on purpose. Changes the feel of the shot.

Thanks for viewing!

i wasn't happy with the bg (too dark)... i tried to shift to an angle to get a green bg but it flew away....

Nice processing! Like how the lights curve. You might want to try cropping out the bottom, I find the rough water a bit distracting.

Tks Bro, will crop it out as you have suggested.

See if you like it after cropping, as different people have different views.
