The Quest for Bokeh by maggiemae

The Quest for Bokeh

Another wintry day but the sun initially gave us hope. Didn’t last. However I used the early morning sun behind the bushes to create the bokeh that I particularly wanted.

Three good things:
1. This pot plant is anchored on the table and the flowers are artificial so I don’t have to water or worry!
2. John got two tooth extensions put back on, now he doesn't look like a toothless gnome!
3. Crackers, cream cheese and red pepper.
Love the ah this photo is in sort of two layers! They fit so well together & the bokeh of the bushes outside just lifts that picture so much. A real wintry Christmassy photo! John will look very handsome!

@happypat Not handsome, Pat - his beard has got straggly and he won't go to a barber. He looks a bit like 'the old man in a fairy tale' And broken teeth didn't help!

@maggiemae Ha ha Maggie, they can be very stubborn! Just had a phone call from a cousin inviting himself for the weekend! Men!

@happypat They think in an entirely different way to women!

Not a fan of B/W but this most probably works better than in colour great bokeh background and the pot out of the picture creating a 3D-effect . Looks great on black !

what happened to the coloured shot?

The B&W works well with this photo

@summerfield It got locked in the cupboard, Vikki! Only allowed out if it can ask nicely - in German!

@maggiemae - bitte, meine liebe.
October 27th, 2017  
@summerfield Sie müssen lächeln, wenn Sie das sagen!

@hjbenson You can see much more bokeh in B&W than colour, Harry!

I feel much the same way about bokeh as I do about sunrises/sets... but I love your new profile picture ;-))

Very cool!

Awesome shot

Sounds as if you achieved what you wanted ;-)

A lovely B & W image, with wonderful bokeh shining like pearls.

I like the HDR look, nicely done.

Nice on black with spots of bokeh

I guess I never thought of doing bokeh, with the sunlight. Very nice and love the dof too.

Beautiful bokeh, Maggiemae. Silk flowers are the best kind if you want to see their beauty all the time. I love the composition of the shot and your #3 sounds delish

A wonderful B&W photo, Maggiemae. I like the bokeh and your fake flowers.
