Nikonites,

Our theme for this month is colorful bokeh. This will require you to either use your long lenses, macro lenses or prime lenses with larger aperture or simply move closer to the subject. Be creative and the most important part is to have fun and show us your work. ;)

The Rules.


1.Only entries should be posted in these threads, if you want to comment a certain entry, you could do so by sending a private message to the original poster.

2.You can influence the votes by "Liking" certain entries. When we judge, we take into account the number of likes received by different entries, so if you vote for all of them, you are not helping much. Since we only select 5 entries to be showcased, it would be nice if you would limit your likes to 5 entries as well.


3.These Assignments are meant only for experience and to help members get better in different types of shooting situations, so don't be afraid to participate.


4.Remember the rules: ONLY 3 entries per participant, all entries have to be taken during the pre-determined Assignment period.

Happy shooting and enjoy your Nikons!

Here are some of my sample shots. I'm sure you can come up with really stunning images.

Just to clarify... Bokeh is the blurry background, correct?

Blurry background is the result of depth of field. Bokeh is referred to when speaking of the quality of the items in the out of focus area... probably just opened pandora's box.... :)

Bokeh is the visual quality of the out-of-focus areas of a photographic image.

I also don't think we're supposed to be commenting in this thread... Photos only, I believe.

Foreground or background bokeh will be acceptable. Your choice and your vision. Other comments will be deleted later on since we apparently need to clarify more. Thanks guys.

well the name of the challenge is colorful bokeh so does that mean that just the bokeh has to be colorful while the subject just has to be in focus or do you just need nice bokeh backing up a colorful subject?
