Question
Taking Wikipedia as any sort of gospel seems dangerous to me. I'm pretty sure I'd trust John over Wiki on this as I know he has a wealth of experience and knowledge while I know nothing whatsoever about the Wiki contributors. But that is a personal value judgement. At this point can I just say...

Question
Yes sorry Martin had a rough day yesterday :D Pete that's true what you mean but really read the last link I posted, this and then you can see where all the confusing comes from. The bokeh is surely out of focus blur but only a part of it and the word is here since 1992 but only recently when ...

Question
I think it's becoming clearer that the term in common usage is being used to describe "the aesthetic qualities" of the out of focus areas in an image. It's a relatively new term and any clarification, which we are working our way through in this thread, must be a good thing. It's no use clingi...

Question
This thread opened a real can of worms!:lol: I've always taken it to mean the 'out-of-focus-bits', so you can have good or bad bokeh, depending on whether it's aesthetically pleasing or not. It'll be interesting to see how the word evolves. a couple of links; http://www.flickr.com/groups...

Question
Stefan, you can't say what's right and wrong when it comes to the definition of words. There is no true meaning of any word. A word means whatever the author (any author) wants it to mean. That's from Alice in Wonderland, and was meant to point up a very real problem - which is that clever people ...

Question
Thus is the language debased - made fuzzy. We really need a new word for the whole OOFB subject, so I humbly submit for your consideration the term Boof; as in: "this lens has great Boof - the background is really creamy". Boof isn't advisable George it has some vulgar urban meanings, google it and...

Question
Why must everything have a scientific explanation? To me, a good bokeh is an out-of-focus background that makes a pleasant backdrop for the subject. The opposite would be a background with distracting details or colours.

Question
By all means you can suggest a refinement of the term, but how many people have seen your comments, and how many all over the world are using the term bokeh in the aesthetic sense? I'm pretty sure now that if I talk to a group of photographers about bokeh then they will be expecting me to be disc...

Question
Now here comes the challenge for Pete, how do you let know if you mean the scientific/intented meaning or the new general meaning of the word bokeh since they both almost mean the same afterall. You could refer to a specific definition on a website, for example, like you have done yourself. Not ever...

Question
Martin about the time, you can of just say what the time is, explain how to read a clock and explain how the clock works. What I mean is tell how to read the time, for example. Bokeh is: - Tell the time How pleasant the out of focus blur is. - Explain how to read the time How pleasant the ...

I'm looking for some suggestions from you folks in the know... Until recently I've been managing quite happily with one of the smaller Lowepro shoulder bags for transporting my gear around. A number of recent purchases mean I can no longer get all the gear I want with me in the bag so I'm looking...

TKMax - ten quid messenger bag. Hard to beat! Some people naming no names (RR) have to be swanky and buy the leather one costing at least twice as much! Seriously. I have a proper camera bag which is OK but brands you a photographer and is rigid, a back pack which is well cushioned and has nea...

I know you say you dont want a back pack, but I have not looked back since I got mine. Plenty of room for a lot of kit, plus it can double as a "general" bag too. But the best thing is I dont get shoulder ache anymore like I did with a shoulder bag.

With a growing lens collection, in size if not in quality :oops:, I am bound to get a backpack. However, for now and for the future I think a sling bag is great. I currently have 2 sling bags, a crumpler pretty boy L (cool looking bag but small) and a larger sling bag where I can fit the body plus ...

Incidentally, the National Geographic bags are available at a much more reasonable price on Amazon than virtually anywhere I've seen. Nice spot, even paying for Express Delivery they're still cheaper than pretty much everywhere else. I have a medium World Explorer Shoulder Bag winging its way her...

...only trouble is, I need to go up a couple of sizes... What a dilemma :lol: I'm there too though, and I'm trying to decide whether to upsize, or just be more selective about which lenses to take with me... It's nice to have them all, but realistically, I almost never use more than 1 or 2 of t...

Well, the National Geographic bag arrived this morning, first impressions are positive, all the gear I need to take away with me this afternoon fits inside with space over for a waterproof and snack. The fastenings are a little more fiddly than the standard plastic clips a lot of bags have but ...
