Light Flight
This California Gull (Larus californicus) is taking off from the water. He is not actually made of light, taking off from light and shadow bokeh, but if you want to think that I won’t complain!
Captured at Stow Lake in Golden Gate National Park, San Francisco with the AF Zoom-Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 Lens on the Nikon D300 Camera.
Bokeh!
Malcolm found this wonderful post about Bokeh! Pronunciation, Meaning and Practical Use from the excellent photographer Martin Bailey. It made us both laugh out loud, and it’s very much worth listening to. Not least that it might help everyone understand and pronounce bokeh better! (Do try and avoid calling people asshole, which, it seems, is what I’ve been doing!)
Speaking of which, I loves me some bokeh!
Moss growing on the beam of an outdoor pagoda/theatre at Filoli, the National Trust Historic country estate, shot with my “Bokeh Maker,” the Nikkor 17-55mm f/2.8 Zoom Super Wide Angle Lens on the Nikon D300 Camera.
Northern Mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos) shows his dance-floor moves!
I’m in love with the bokeh in this shot, thanks to the AF Zoom-Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 Lens on the Nikon D300 Camera.
