Photographer re-discovers, for the thousandth time, shallow depth of field. Firmly resists calling the effect "bokeh."

 




Easy enough to do. 50mm f2.0 lens on an M240 rangefinder camera. 
Shoot wide open and get close to the foreground subject. 
Pretend you have discovered a brand new style....

Works in black and white and color.

    Can it be done with mannequins too?

    Really like the last one. Hey I gotta an idea for you! Get the people who dress your favourite mannequins to follow you around with a couple of them and you could do some "fashion shoots" with them in your favourite places. Could be fun!

    Now thanks to the magic of computational photography, bokeh can be added after the fact!
