    Beyond Bokeh

    An experiment...something... :idea: Wide open focusing on the windshield of my Jeep in the pouring rain.
    Very tough to focus... image 2 produced some interesting (out-of-focus) effects
    Thought I'd share this ( i luv a rainy night ) abstract stuff.

    Awesome stuff! Another vote for #2!

    Looks like 7 bladed diaphragm.

    interesting

    I like the color in #3 and the contrast of sharp drops vs all blurriness

    I couldn't pick one if I had to. I'm a bokeh hound and all of these strike my fancy.
    It's not blurry. It's bokeh.

    Re: Beyond Bokeh

    Thank you all so much for the encouraging feedback...It is good to "Experiment" LOL. I enjoy posts from each, everyone here...even though I don't always comment.

    I have had a busy last 6 months restoring my old Merc Cyclone GT( a 11 year project ). Lately I'm finding more time to get out, shoot. I encourage everyone to do the same.

    With regards,
    Rick

    I love these. Great example of what can happen when you just stumble upon a technique. Thanks for sharing.
