Today started out as a lumberjack day but some of that wood is real hard to split and my back didn’t last too long. Then the sun decided to almost break through the cloud cover. Good excuse to drop the axe and take the camera out and see if I could put any of that recent experimentation to use.
The 18-200mm lens was on the camera so it stayed. It was a good choice to begin with. The view through the viewfinder is close to what you’re going to get making this type of shooting much easier than a lens with a much wider aperture where the viewfinder image is not the same as the photo.
I was trying to get a similar bokeh effect in all these shots and the results pretty much work for me. In many photos the idea is to isolate the subject. In these I’m trying to place the subject in the strange world of lens bokeh. In other words the subject is supposed to be part of the rest of the scene and the rest of the scene is supposed to be abstract in nature. And hopefully the abstraction lets your mind wander and wonder.
