Wow, these prints look fantastic on your wall. Congratulations!

Here are a couple of flowers with the Olympus Pen 42/1.2 lens:

Cheers!

Michiel Schierbeek · 8th February 2010

Thanks Abbazz!

Did you move the camera while shooting or is this the actual bokeh?
Would like to see a sample without a busy foreground to better see how it renders.
I can see a little of it on the last photo on the left. It is a nice fast lens.

Thank you Keith, I will look into it.
So much to check out and learn!

I didn't move the camera, I only focused the lens in front of the subject (it's easy to do at it has a minimum focus of 0.35m). This tiny Olympus wonder is also much smaller and lighter than a lens designed for 35mm. Here it is mounted on my E-P1 -- the picture should be acceptable here, as it has a large out of focus area

:

You can find a few pictures taken with this lens on my Zenfolio gallery but the first 13 pictures were taken when the lens was still suffering from a bad case of element separation. The subsequent pictures where taken after applying my magical heat treatment. And sorry for the off-topic, guys

.

Cheers!

Much as I love black and white, this version I prefer. Not sure about the title though, the street below does look dry ...
My title would be "Condensed Buildings"

JerryMK · 17th February 2010

Leica77: really love the Night Flight shot.
Klythawk: you got me speechless...

one of my latest.

lets make that two..

Leica 77 · 17th February 2010

Hi m3photo and JerryMK,
Many thanks for your kind comments. m3photo, I appreciate your suggestion for the image title. JerryMK, your raindrop shots are always beautiful! All the best, Leica 77.

Ron Evers · 17th February 2010

Deleted photos from S5, I forgot which camera took them.

klythawk · 17th February 2010

Thanks Raf & JerryMK for the very nice comments, for someone who is very much a novice they are really appreciated. Its looking at all the smashing shots and advice from posters on forums such as this, that gives you all the encouragement you need. Cheers everyone.

woodmancy · 18th February 2010

I've just received my Zenitar 16mm/2.8 M42 mount lens, purchased for the Italian tilt adapter that has been discussed in earlier posts.
I think this lens will be useful for blenders and bokehgraphers - here is a test picture. Taken on the G1 and at aperture 2.8.

Keith

Leica 77 · 20th February 2010

Hi Keith,
You must be enjoying the Zenitar 16mm lens that you have just acquired. Here is my contribution. "Night Lights". Best regards, Leica 77.

Thanks Leica:

I did this on my mission of doing a "bokeh a day" in Europe last year. I thought that the Holiday Inn sign had potential!

I travel again in five weeks and I'm setting the same goal - a "bokeh a day"

Hi Keith,
Now I can see "HO" of the Holiday Inn sign. It is good to set some realistic and attainable goals such as a "bokeh a day". In my future travels, I will do the same ... As you do, I will take a couple of my favorite bokeh lenses to some faraway places planned for this spring. Best regards, Leica 77.

Nice one! Can't figure out what it is, so that's good.
Keeps one curious.
The 45-200 has actually very nice bokeh possibilitys.

Thanks

The 200mm f/5.6 works OK but having the point sources of light at night helps.

It is a sculpture made of rope lights like the stuff you use for Christmas lights.

f6cvalkyrie · 2nd March 2010

A lot of very nice bokehgraphies here, some very experimental

Let me join in with a more traditional one, to celebrate the arrival of spring !

Thanks Michiel - yes, it is my Pentax bokeh lens.

Taken at Sochi in Russia. To get the color I had to blow out a bit of detail in the trees. But, I like it this way.

Cheers

Super, Klaus!

I like the square format and the double line bokeh (looks like the front legs of a mystical horse in the bottom left)

Might as well post it here (traffic bokeh) although it is more a variation on the first photo of the -No need for Noktor- thread.

Good to see the image here, Michiel. I'm looking into getting this lens myself.

Here is a "software" bokehgraph (FocalPoint 2) - I think the Canon 85 is in their library!

Hi My Good Mentor Keith,
This image is colorful, beautiful, and fantastic! It is certainly one of the best bokehgraphs! Best regards, Leica 77.
