do long lenses like 300mm at “tight aperture” like f 6.3 still have enough bokeh? my lenses are 35/50/85mm 1.8 primes. and i love shooting at like 2.8 for lots of bokeh. i want to get a 70-300mm f4.3-f6.3 lens, when i look at f6.3 automatically i think it’s bad and won’t have the bokeh depth of field i want. but if i am shooting birds and the background will usually be really far away because it’s all outdoors, would there st…

Is doubling in bokeh a lens issue? I’ve been looking into buying a Sigma 23mm f1.4 and some example pictures people have taken with it on Flickr. Most of the pictures look OK, but there’s a couple I’ve seen from different users that look like this, where the background blur looks quite busy. More concerning though is that it looks like I’m seeing double in the background, which i…

Which mm Lens for bokeh? Which mm Lens for bokeh So i do product photography in a lightbox (not professional, just hobby related). I know that < f (preferably lower than 2.0) is more bokeh. I can shoot decent bokeh pictures with my 15 - 45 mm f 3.5 - 5.6 but i want a lens that is better at bokeh (the kit was a very good black friday sale and a seperate body with no lens...

Question about bokeh, why is it only noticeable when zoomed in and in a wider aperture? So yeah I have an old camera and it is my first camera. I only picked up this hobby recently. Question in I get a pronounced bokeh only when I stood far from my subject(I do this when my subject is a person) and with the camera zoomed in and having a f4 and above. The photo above I usually get that bokeh at 135. But I get bokeh usually in a norm…

Bokeh Aberration? Hi all Hopefully Reddit image compression will show the issue I’m facing. Shooting with the R5 MII and RF 24-70 f2.8L As you can see I’m getting a lot of blue tints to high contrast areas when shooting wide open. I can mitigate these by stopping down the aperture, but then I have to compromise the affect I want. The whiskers of the cat show this…

What is a good budget lens for Nikon Z30 (that provides good bokeh)? I’m interested in purchasing the Nikon Z30, I understand the limitations of the kit lens (16 – 50mm), but are there a couple of budget lens options for this camera? I’m not naïve and understand lenses can cost hundreds. I’m not looking to be a pro, but I think I have some basic requirements: Decent enough for family photos. Can handle travel ph…

Make bokeh shapes more artistic? I’ve always found the idea of bokeh shapes (hearts, stars, etc) to be more interesting than most of the results. I love in-camera effects, and the ghostly nature of bokeh seems so close to something really interesting and beautiful, but I haven’t found any work that goes much beyond kind of gimmicky. Maybe it can’t go further, but it seems so cl…

Why does my ‘bokeh’ look so strange? https://preview.redd.it/e3mmylwhn83d1.png?width=1142&format=png&auto=webp&s=72f900eeb8e0e69d43e95c4cfc637fe7ca103018 For some reason the ‘bokeh’ on my photos looks unnatural, more like a glow filter has been added to the image rather than natural blur. I am using a Panasonic G9, Viltrox Speedbooster, Sigma 18-35. I tested the lens on my Canon 5D…

Is there a rule of thumb for bokeh? Is there a general rule of thumb for bokeh? I enjoyed amping up the saturation and adjusting hues, but do most photographers still try to keep it somewhat natural looking even with all the blur going on? submitted by /u/Revolutionary_Ad7655
