I like landscape so don’t often get close. I got to visit the Santa Margarita Ranch the other day and took shots of all sorts of ranch implements with my 50MM wide open. Going through them this morning I found this example of bokeh which I rarely see in my shots. It sure does highlight the subject and I can see how it could be used very effectively in certain circumstances. What a great hobby; all kinds of new things to discover.

My word. Thank you so much.
This is an exceptional shot. By focusing on the bell, you tell a beautiful story about ranch life.
Thank you very much Mike.
Nice exposure. I like the way the ‘halo’ of light round the weight really picks it out from the dark. (I have it in my mind that the light effect on the ‘dark side’ has a specific name)
Not sure about that. If you come up with it let me know.
mmm… it may be diffraction, but I seem to remember reading about the phenomenon recently – in a book, not on the web………
