What is the easiest way to achieve Bokeh using LX3

[moaid28]

^ wow the first pic very lomo...which setting was it?

the second one....wow wow! 2 B&R??

both nicely taken!

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

thanks for the heads up. quite informative video

I am quite lazy, set auto focus, shoot either in P or A mode, most of the time meets my requirement but some times quite annoyed doing close ups.

Hopefully by using manual focus, it will give me less headache

Hey Moaid, thanks but I am not sure if I know how to retrieve the metadata for the settings, cause usually I know you can see it from the camera's view photograph setting when you press the display. The picture is not in my cam now as I always upload it and reformat my SDcard, but I guess I just shot that in manual mode, with F2.0, Shutter set at 200 and ev-1 cause I had light compensation from the water fountain and the crystals.

As for the B&R one of it's my mine and the other my bro in law, he was using the BR03 and I was using the BR01 and both Phantom Black, so I asked him if I can borrow his to shoot, LOL :bsmilie: wanted to do a mirror style shoot but Tiong Bahru Market was not conducive for a nice setup.

Anyway Thanks for commenting, always good to get encouragement from others.

Hi,
I'm a newbie in Bokeh. I'm not pro.
A lay man like me just use the auto and try to zoom in.
On LX5 with AI - Macro

Basic rule applies (pns or dslr). Just keep this in mind when you want isolation
- increase focal length
- reduce aperture
- get the subject close to you
- increase the distance between the subject and background/foreground.

would a telephoto lens adapter helps better in achieving more bokeh'ness?
