Bokeh lesson by Pentax DA*!

Bokeh lesson by Pentax DA*! · 06:31 AM

You just need to find a nice subject, a colorful flower will do.. and take the shot!

Here's the result:

1/1500s f/4.0 at 135.0mm iso100. K10D and DA* 50-135mm.

I love how sharp and soft it is at the same time.. definitely my favorite lens!!

Great shot! After seeing shots like these, I want that lense even more!

Wow... just... wow!

synnyster · 05-14-2008, 08:43 AM

That photo is a stunner.

Wow! Good thing I don't need this lens.

I don't need this lens.

I don't need this lens.

Of course you don't need this lens -- You're waiting for the DA* 60-250mm f/4 !

THe 50-135 is certainly awesome, though. Depending on the 60-250 reviews and price, one of them will be my next telephoto purchase.
I think with either one, you can't go wrong

Great 3D effect with that bokeh !! and the colors are fantastic.

Tuner571 · 05-14-2008, 12:52 PM

Great shot indeed, any post-processing on this one?
