BOKEH & THE INDOOR GARDEN

BOKEH - THE SHARP & THE SOFT OF PHOTOGRAPHY My son brought home another orchid. I think that is it for room on my indoor garden table.

KOMOREBI & BOKEH: JAPANESE, THE PHOTOGRAPHY LANGUAGE

It's just the word … Continue reading KOMOREBI & BOKEH: JAPANESE, THE PHOTOGRAPHY LANGUAGE

BOKEH – SOFTENING BACKGROUNDS

Some lenses are designed to do it, others are intended to "go deep and sharp." You have to pick lenses based on what you … Continue reading BOKEH – SOFTENING BACKGROUNDS

IN JAPANESE, THERE IS A WORD FOR IT

IT’S A FINE LENS BUT MY EYES WILL HAVE TO GO!

Not being at all ready to accept camera failure as my focusing problem, I redid the pictures of yesterday since my friendly red squirrel was back. A lot of photos later, I knew my eyes aren't sharp enough closeup on the LCD screen to be sure when shooting tight, that I'm in exactly in focus. … Continue reading IT’S A FINE LENS BUT MY EYES WILL HAVE TO GO!

BOUQUET WITH BOKEH

Much to my surprise and delight, Garry brought me flowers yesterday. The previous bouquet of sunflowers needed to move on to wherever dead flowers go. I tend to not bury the dead ones until I can replace them with live ones. For reasons I just can't explain, I always feel bad about dead flowers. Even … Continue reading BOUQUET WITH BOKEH
