Looking for good bokeh

Looking at the data you gave, I have to assume you used a point of focus on the object/flower.

Now Depth of field is precise: 1/3 in from of the focus point and 2/3 behind. This means that you can use the full field and stay in focus (albeit soft toward the extremes). This implies a new use of DOF and focusing. You change your focus point so that field of sharpness uses the second third, behind the focus point.

"." is the focus point
1.23 .23 are in focus, reducing the bokeh field
1.23 3 replaces the focus point

Aligned to have a visual clue:
    1.23
1.23

The result is that the real focusing is before the object.

Caught these two herring gulls enjoying some intimate moments. I think they are quite beautiful.


They are beautiful, good job. ID'ing gulls can get complex.

photo not photo shop

if we spent 30 minutes on every photo instead of 30 minutes on photo shopping every photo. think of the shots you would get after 6 months or a year. just think we have to a large degree developed the tendency to take lots of shots and hope we can find one good enough to photoshop a good shot from.


I like your thinking

Got reminded when I took these that I should have been working. Might as well make some use of them.

Egrits and Herons are out in full force in CA
Beautifully done photogrl2. The three Great Egrets are exquisite, sharp, well exposed and composed. You caught the almost always graceful Great Blue Herons in a kind of elegant/unelegant moment. Made me smile. tThanks for posting. Where was this?
