In this photo I suppose it is caused by the very brightly lit leaves in the background. I have not systematically examined bokeh at varying apertures, I must admit that I don't do this sort of testing--I just take pictures ;-) CHeers, Nathan Nathan Wajsman Alicante, Spain http://www.frozenlight.eu http://www.greatpix.eu http://www.nathanfoto.com PICTURE OF THE WEEK: http://www.fotocycle.dk/paws Blog: http://nathansmusings.wordpress.com/ YNWA On Sep 10, 2012, at 11:53 PM, Jim Nichols wrote: > Hi Nathan, > > I like the details in the last image, but that bokeh gives my eyes fits. > Does it get better at smaller apertures? > > Jim Nichols > Tullahoma, TN USA > ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nathan Wajsman" <photo at > frozenlight.eu> > To: "Leica Users Group" <lug at leica-users.org>; "Olympus Camera > Discussion" <olympus at thomasclausen.net> > Sent: Monday, September 10, 2012 4:48 PM > Subject: [Leica] Nathan's PAD 9/9/2012: John Muir Woods > > >> Yesterday was our final day in California.
