The shameless bokeh thread

[Admin #1]

I couldn't see a thread dedicated to bokeh, so let's have one. This is a place to show off all that lovely bokeh. Here are a couple to start us off. Then it's your turn!

All depends on what you think good 'bokeh' is. Often nice round 'bokeh' balls (sic) can actually be distracting if they are bright and draw you away from the main subject. However, as seen in a number of the photos above it can also look rather good!

Here are some from me:

Great idea for a thread, and some excellent photos already! I'll have to get more photos together but in the meantime I think these two fit the theme:


Foxgloves by manxmaid2000, on Flickr
Taken using a Canon 100mm Macro at f2.8.


Jazz by manxmaid2000, on Flickr
Taken using a Canon 70-200mm L at f4.0
