[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I'm with you, Ted. you've got about 20 years on me, but in all my career as a photographer, I never heard the term Bokeh or any concern over what it represents. I blame the internet. A seemingly meaningless thing can grow far out proportion on the internet. (I'm reminded of the TV commercial: Good looking girl says something, guy says Who told you that's true, she says the internet. He says so everything on the internet is true? she says Yes, he says who told you that, oh, yeah, the internet. Really ugly guy walks up, she says this is my boyfriend, he's a french supermodel. She met him on the internet. -----Original Message----- From: tedgrant at shaw.ca Sent: Friday, March 01, 2013 1:06 PM To: Leica Users Group Subject: Re: [Leica] IMG: General Tire Hi Tina my dear Lady. OK HERE I GO AGAIN ABOUT THIS BOKEH STUFF! :-) :-) Never mind the back ground in this photo! who cares????? Look at the strength content of the face!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe a tad bit of burning down all around the sides done well and the "brightness factor" may not be as distracting?" But it's the face that matters. Maybe I'm the one who's crazy here, but I rarely ever did... unless it was so blatantly obvious did I ever pay much attention to backgrounds other than things sticking out of heads or quite an obvious "shape or object more powerful than the main content of the photograph creating a distraction!" Then it was corrected or the frame went into file 13 off the Light table! And as I've repeated myself several times! I never knew what the heck the word bokeh meant? Still really don't! Let alone ever recall reading anything about it until I hit the "funny pages on the LUG!" I suppose that answers my own question? I never read much about photography simply because I was always far to busy taking photographs and having fun??????? Being paid for it and sent about the world having a great time! But no one ever said to me..... "Gee Ted there's a lot of bokeh in your photos!" during my 60 plus years shooting. I suppose somewhere in the National Archives Collection of 380,000 images there must be one or two? ;-) ;-) But do you know what? If nobody has found or said anything about it in my photographs to date? I'm not going to start looking for them at this late time in my life. :-) cheers, Dr. ted ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tina Manley" <images at comporium.net> To: <MUGers at yahoogroups.com>; "Leica Users Group" <lug at leica-users.org>; "paw" <paw at micapeak.com>; "seephoto" <seephoto at micapeak.com>; "Olympus Camera Discussion" <olympus at thomasclausen.net> Sent: Friday, March 01, 2013 8:28 AM Subject: [Leica] IMG: General Tire > PESO: > > I think looking at the bokeh on this one that it was made with the R6.2 > and > 80/1.4 but I'm not sure. > > http://www.pbase.com/tinamanley/image/148999591 > > C&C? > > Thanks, > > Tina > > -- > Tina Manley, ASMP > www.tinamanley.com > > _______________________________________________ > Leica Users Group. > See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
