Location: Lost Lake, Mt Hood, Oregon
Date: Jun 17, 2006
Aperture: f/3.6
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/6
Galleries: Nature

 Was goofing around with my camera in the forest, playing with various settings to see if I could get the circles of light that some definitions of bokeh include. The subject may not be great but at least I got those circles of light!

Sharper focus will make this pic better

Out of focus. Tripod or a non-windy day could have solved this.

Unfortunately, the flowers in the forground are so blurred...would have been great if they were crisp against that background.

The forground is not sharp. The whole thing i ugly grainy.
The oof areas look pretty ugly and does not enhance the picture in any way. A below average entry.

Uh-oh. Didn't quite get in focus. Looks like you picked a good location with nice bokeh potential. Good luck in the challenge.

The bokeh is great, but the quality of the photo is pretty poor. Try reducing the noise and it will come out looking better. Try Neat Image if you haven't already.

This would have been perfect if the twigs had been in focus. Nice bokeh in background tho.

The subject is not in focus...or is it blur? I think this would have made great photo had it been crisp.
