I tried a bokeh shot on my canon G10



Need to work on my lighting and composition I think.

Composition is ok, there is some handshake though. You can push the image during your post processing to make it pop a little.

yeah.. not handshaking.. its cos i had to press the LIGHT button on the watch. So I think the watch still shaking a little after i pressed the button
the G10 was on a tripod

Bros, all the shots are beri well taken ...

iPhone camera is also capable of producing nice bokeh too except its hard to control exposure.

Wah nice circular ones. 9 blade aperture?

Wah nice circular ones. 9 blade aperture?

The B & W pic is shot with a 28mm f2.8 lens with 7 blades.
The other one is with a 50mm f1.2 lens with 9 blades.
Those are shot at the biggest aperture, so how many blades do not determine how circular the bokeh balls are, its the size of the aperture. Big aperture like f1.2 will have more oval bokeh balls.
Sorry for the info overload

Ah was about to ask about the relationship with aperture and the bokeh roundness.

Haha didn't really venture into this area. Should incorporate into my next shoot.

Maybe the number of blades will affect the bokeh shape if you step down the aperture size. Maybe at full open, the blades are all tuck in so it doesn't affect. All the newer lens are 7 blades.

Yes, when using full wide aperture, all the blades are retracted, hence, the bokeh balls are smooth round or oval.

If you reduce the aperture, angular bokeh may appear if the blades are not the rounded type.

Older lenses like mine have straight blades, so if i close the aperture from f1.2 to f2, i can see angular bokeh balls.

Sharing 1 shot today that I really like

Taken today @ garden by the bay.

Nice shots guys.

Sharing one with bokeh formed by water beads on top of my car's boot. (the light source was from my S3 Light Assist feature aka touch)
