Got Bokeh?

June 5th, 2008

I will send you a Star bucks coffee card if you know what that is without using Google to find it:-)

I am working on that right now. OK I will save you the trouble and give it to you here.

Trouble is, with my short lens, I don’t seem to get killer bokeh. I tricked my camera a bit and shot in macro and got a little, but I need to keep working on it. It gives me good reason to share something else we have been up to. Right after we got back from Peru we started sprouting an avocado pit.

This little baby drinks water like there is no tomorrow. I need to get it in a pot soon, but it is so fun watching it here on my window sill. The kids love it. I think it will take 5 years to bear any fruit, but hey, most things are like that.

Grabbed a fairly good silhouette shot here.

I can’t believe how many leaves this thing has so quickly. Before I know it, it will have limbs. It is crazy how God causes things to grow. It really has me mind boggled right now. Now, what to do with it once it outgrows the pot? Currently we are working on sprouting a peach pit. I will keep you posted.

I am dreaming of several new lenses even as I type. Anyone have an extra grand laying around that they want to donate to my artistic cause?

Peace to all Bokeh enthusiast today!
