"bokeh" is like colour.
For example you see a withering tree, and the green leaves are not such a strong green colour. So you might make a comment "the colour of the leaves is quite pale", which is similar to a comment like "the bokeh is quite ugly"
You can't achieve colour, in the same way that you can't achieve bokeh. It's like... a property of the image.
:dunno: Not sure if i'm explaining it right. Someone help me!
quite incorrect.
Boke is the blur.
Boke-aji - is the type or quality of blur.
What is bokeh?
It's not even in meriam websters..
It's funny how people try to define it ...

Thx!
The fly gave me about 15min and just moved around but not fly away. Thanks to the fly :bsmilie:You can tell that I was very close to the fly because the DOF was pretty thin.

Remember to switch the focus to Marco also right? its adjustable at the side of the lens.

Thanks
It is amazing to me what the LX3 can do. When I got it, I tested it in many areas and found it a really good compact camera. It may not achieve great bokeh in portrait photos, but all in all, a great camera!
Anyway, here is one of my fave shots of my fly fren :bsmilie:

Nope...no attachments... just the LX3...
Just curious:
How close was the camera to the subject? And did you crop the image?

I was at the min focus distance. I switched to manual focus, went to min focus distance, then moved the camera to get the focus. After getting the pic, I cropped it to the pic that you see

There is a video online - showing how to do manual focus ... very detail explanation.
Try youtube - lbguides , panasonic lx3 + manual focus.
