We got my parents old typewriter out for our children to play with last weekend, so I thought I'd go for bokeh!

Nice as usual Norm. The blue on the one bird is very vibrant, almost electric.

My first reaction to that bird was, that colour was going to look over-processed, and I walked by him, then I just turned and thought "what the heck, I'll take a couple anyway."

Yes, you don't want to be accused of over-processing even before starting to process!

Here's some more people bokeh:

I slowed down enough to take a few photos today. Wild flowers along the edge of the driveway...

DA40mm XS bokeh at a recent children's national chess tournament - the bokeh is slightly nervous, which suits the background mash and the occasion!

Chess clocks

....plus a Helios photo x-posted that shows a more creamy side to a lens not known for bokeh smoothness....

White flower bee 44-2
