I really need to realize this, for the past month i tend to blame my equipment for stuff and then try to fix everything in post.
Its making me more of the instagrammer type photographer.

So lets shoot some awesome bokehs :sly::sly:

its not a portrait lens soo maybe you will find the bokeh not too good from far away but I will show you example where i shot it from very close and bokeh came very creamy

nac you can...put your camera in macro mode and take shots of object from closest possible distance...try on a flower

Nac, you have a canon sx series right? Just zoom out to the max and use manual focus to get to the minimum focusing distance.

Place subject and move cam till object is in focus. Choose a place where the background is very far away. (balcony, park, hall etc).

Yes, I can get some bokeh... But not that creamy, misty, foggy washed out background...

I am not saying these are not good, given the sensor size, it's fantastic. Just that the one's we get from a bigger sensor are much better :)

Those are some really good shots nac, and then you ask people here if you can get a bokeh with this lens :p

@nac - The flower photo is too good; do you have a colour version too ?
I never get those kind of bokeh light circles.

What's that thing in the foreground in the 2nd one ?

^ Yeah, I have colour version too... Since I have already shared a colour version of the image (from the series), I posted black white.
That's a dried leaf in the foreground.

Not fair, I've been shooting bokeh's for the past two weeks. To the point that people have started telling me "dude, half your photo is blurred, you should've purchased a real SLR, not this half jugaad :("

Anyhow just to hammer in my point here is another one

@amlan this is nice...liked it.

and yes people say that bokeh is a waste ...says itna mehanga camera and poora focus me kyo nahi aata :D mera 5k se acchi pic aa jati hai :D

anyways we are part of artistic world and not snap shot photography world ...right ?? when a modern art of mf hussain having a horse head can sell for million doller then we are doing great ;)
