Friday My Town Shootout...


This weeks theme is Bokeh..here is Wikipedias definition...."In photography, bokeh is the blur,[1][2] or the aesthetic quality of the blur,[3][4][5] in out-of-focus areas of an image, or "the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light."[6] Differences in lens aberrations and aperture shape cause some lens designs to blur the image in a way that is pleasing to the eye, while others produce blurring that is unpleasant or distracting— "good" or "bad" bokeh, respectively.[1] Bokeh occurs for parts of the scene that lie outside the depth of field. Photographers sometimes deliberately use a shallow focus technique to create images with prominent out-of-focus regions."








Have a wonderful weekend all!! Namaste, Sarah

Fantastic photos. The first one is an eye-popper but being a cat lover, I have to go for the kitty shot.

Happy Easter.

I love that chestnut photo, I love it better if you tell me where it is so I can go and pick them.

Great Bokeh.
