She spoke about wanting to get Photoshop (complained it's too expensive) but want's to do "tilt shift" in photoshop....
......ANd she says she doesn't like JAZZ either... I listen to it all day.....
........ at least my 17 year-old and I have 1950-1970's Jazz, Steely Dan, Rush, and Yes in common.
I thought "brokeh" was what you became after you bought a Canon 85 1.2 L or an Aero Ektar.I have a lens with a malfunctioning diaphragm which won't close, so it always produces "brokeh".
The English spelling 'bokeh' was popularized in 1997 in Photo Techniques magazine, when the editor Mike Johnston commissioned three papers (Grad, Merklinger, Kennerdell) on the topic for the March/April 1997 issue.
Unfortunately now, so many very wrongly use the word (which actually is the QUALITY of the out-of-focus blur) to mean the out-of-focus area itself (vis a vis the in-focus area within the DOF zone). Ironically many dispute their wrong use, when the correct definition of 'bokeh' (the QUALITY) is supported by famous optics companies like Zeiss' paper on the subject of DOF in-focus areas and Out-of-focus blur and bokeh quality characteristics of the blur.
Photos seeking to use razor thin DOF, particularly so-called 'portraits' in which one eye is in focus and the tip of the nose and the ears are out of focus, fail to appeal to me. There is an inordinate amount of attention on this use, when large apertures original were intended to get photos when there simply was not enough light for the limited ISO (ASA) film speeds.
Yeah, that too.I thought "brokeh" was what you became after you bought a Canon 85 1.2 L or an Aero Ektar.
I once knew a photographer…(snip)
That's why you have an Elmar (or whatever).
s-a
I thought the original post was really funny. I take it that was how it was intended ?

Unfortunately, the 1.8 bokeh faddist has all the conceit and arrogance of the very ignorant; hopefully she'll grow out of it but it doesn't sound encouraging. It's hard to learn when you already know it all.
Great thread to bring to light again. See so much of the same thing these days too.
I spend a great amount of time in reading and research to insure that when I say something, it's right. @#!*% upbringing!!
Blame it on my parents!!

And you'll be reduced to laughing at your own past comments, as above...
Yes... depressingly funny.
I fired her. She couldn't believe it, and said it was my loss.
To much bravado, and self assurance, she was unteachable.
I think you will find that top pro photographers do in fact use shallow depth of field a lot, presumeably that's what sells clothes in non-studio settings.

I really dislike the 'everything wide open' crap that's going around. It's just silly.
