Technically, I think Bokeh is supposed to have out of focus small light sources. But it certainly has become the short form for "out o focus areas."

K-1 and DA*55 1.4, I'm taking some 1.4 images, not because I particularly want to, but just because I can. :D

It's beer o'clock around here, but I got in from building the new garden shed 10 minutes early? What to do?
Take a picture of the beer, sorry, no retakes.

I was out today retaking the shots I missed yesterday. Despite my love of shooting on the fly, sometimes you need a tripod with manual focus, Live View and the two second timer. Sometimes the short cuts just don't work.

QuoteQuote:

have you ever read the hunting " accident " reports

" heard it, shot at it "

often can be found in such reports.

imagine being sitting at a base of a tree, hidden in brush, camouflaged, sounding as best you can like a turkey

amazing what some people do with firearms

I have seen hunters set up well within 40 yards and disappear

and folks shooting at the " prey " farther away than 40 yards with their shot guns


most hunters are ethical and don't shoot at " sound " but it just takes one to ruin your day



I've had 3 "what the hell are you doing" incidents with hunters, just in my back yard. We've lived here about 10 years. One with an experienced 70 year old hunter who'd been hunting his whole life. The simple fact is, the only way to control guns is to restrict where they can be used. When I lived in Timmins Ont. with all the fly in hunters from other parts fo the world (best hunting near a jet port anywhere) we had 3 fatalities while I lived there, one every 2 years on average.

If you click on my images to go to the flickr page, all information is listed. Just scroll down a bit from the image.

Today I made a mistake so I'll put the images over the images

The DFA* 50mm comes out, the DA*55 1.4 comes on sale for 499 CAD, less than 400 USD< actually cheaper than I paid for my broken FA 50. 1.7.

Of course, it's not what everyone is talking about, but, what the heck.
