Berries with creamy bokeh

Lotus in Langwarrin, Melbourne, Australia

 

The summery feel with a wonderful bokeh

Floral Friday

Moth

The bokeh and colour are very rich in deed.

Porcelain Doll

Quite a lot happened to my life last few days. This shot was taken to reveal the bokeh performance of Voigtlander 40mm f2 SL

You can see that the specular highlights turn out quite nastily...

I really want to get a Leica 50mm f1.4 now...

Chairs in Forbidden city

The chair does make a good subject to view. The bokeh is quite creamy.

Pink

Some ugly tram track bokeh in the lower portion of the frame.

Spider Macro

This image is taken by Voigtlander 125mm f2.5 macro APO Lanthar

Life is busy at the moment. Good to be occupied in fact.  This photo was taken a while back when I still had that obsession with insects in general. Sometimes it is amazing to see the extent I really want to get this sort of image spending hours of tracking and snapping to get this desirable outcome. You might not be aware that this macro lens is legendary. Yet, I have sold it to a Melbourne enthusiastist. This lens has absolute no fringeing and smoothest bokeh among all macro lenses. The colour rendition is clean and clear. Very mesmerising lens in deed.

Street photography is still my thing. Yet, it is so hard to pick this up after 3 years of non shooting. Somehow I am confident that I will pick it with the help of friends :)

The top name for boy baby is Jack and girl baby is Ruby last year.

Another McDonald is robbed in Melbourne. This is very spooky.

Butterfly for Saturday Critter

 

I was more keen on testing the bokeh

New Year Boredom

This image is taken by Canon 50mm f1.2L

It was a very boring day. No shops were open and there were no festivities except rubbish on the ground everywhere. Lucky, there were shops that were usually open 24 hours a day that ended up closed on New Year's Day. So I got to see the actual graffiti on these store facades.

Then I accompanied Joel for trialing out his new camera and range finder lenses. Good to see him paying so much concentration into these mundane objects of the streets.

When I spotted this lady walking pass me, I had a chill. I thought I was revisiting the scenes of Lord of the Rings. She really made me frighten for my life today...

A little trialing with bokeh shot: Damn harsh and ugly. But why not? There was nothing else to photograph.

Yes, luckily this cafe was located. We had the daily dose of Latte before terminating this boring New Year's Day!!!!

Lake Tyrrell for Skywatch Friday

 

Sunset bokeh is even prettier.

Lady bug in Camberwell for Saturday Critter

 

It is nice to see green bokeh

Sausage at Camberwell Market, Melbourne, Australia

Yeah, the sausage looks rather scary to eat. What I like from this view is the soft creamy bokeh from 150mm f2 ZD 

It seems this type of gourmet sausage is rather popular with a long queue waiting to buy this...

Cafe atmosphere

This kind of cafe atmosphere is what makes suburban Melbourne Cafe attractive - Cafe culture. f1.2 bokeh gave this sense of atmosphere. Maybe my severe myopia gave me this kind of depth of view most of the time.
