I blame 365 for this entirely... before 365, i didn’t know anything about dof or flash exposure compensation... i thought nifty fifties and off-camera flashes were for "professionals"... and i’d never heard of bokeh, much less knew how to produce it on demand... as for processing in black and white – before 365, that was a one click effort in PSE... so uhm, yeah... here’s to you, 365!
For me, great shot! Shows how much you now know, and I hope to develop. The bokeh circles are a little harsh on the edges, but I guess that comes with the lens?
You are incredibly clever. If I were asked to do a combination shot of the Beatles theme and the mundane scissors challenge
Oh yeah, you have bokeh and it is b&w .
Awesome creativity!
Wonderful shot! I must get a scissor shot...hope I feel better tomorrow...no creativity going on at present....that part of my brain must be behind the congestion!
@frankhymus i expect the harshness is more related to the fact that i've got my camera settings to a higher level of sharpening than average... i don't seem to play well in the soft area of photography and rarely bother to try :)
Hahahah love your picture and the description is great! It is super clever and creative and love the theme you're doing! Keep it coming you rock at this! =D
Let me CUT the bulls*** here----this is so Artsy-and it's a fav---what i really wish here is --U should cut one of the bokeh in half=haha,i know,i know-not easy--:)
hehe... I didn't know about those things either... this past year has been a MASSIVE learning curve for me... but it's been fun. This is awesome, love your take on it and great bokeh (ps... how much fun is it to produce it on demand teehee)... really well done all round for this shot.
@northy I keep coming and checking this out... it really is super cool. Ps... was thinking more about bokeh, seeing as it's floating around a lot right now... this time last year, I'd been doing the project for 1 month... with my phone... around now had literally just got my camera and no idea of how to do bokeh... it just blows the mind to think how much we can learn just by being part of 365 and having some wonderful people and photographers around... you are one of both of those.
Oh yeah, you have bokeh and it is b&w .
Awesome creativity!
Cool picture, too... ;-p
