Challenge: Foreground Bokeh II (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Sony SLT-A33
Lens: Sony SAL-50F18 DT 50mm F/1.8 SAM
Date: Jun 18, 2012
Aperture: 1.8
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/2500
Date Uploaded: Jun 19, 2012

I took a ton of shots for this challenge, and ended up liking the composition of this best. Amazing how many things you can get a nice foreground bokeh on when you're using a f/1.8 lens. I originally thought it would be very hard.

Desat, contrast, orange color layer copied from original, curves, white frame.

For clarification, the car is moving at about 40mph... but my shutter speed was so high due to the large aperture that there is essentially no motion blur.

From now on, I'm going to give photos I like piss poor scores. Of recent, I'm noticing an inverse correlation between photos I like and where they finish. I thought this was one of the better ones in the challenge. Guess I was wrong.

A strange illusion going on. Almost three dimensional.

Intersting composition. The desaturation works well here. I wonder if a differnet angle would have shown off the hole better, as I find it kind of incidental to the image right now.

Rather mysterious under that street. Who knows what lurks and all that ;-)
