Yeah, I know, I know. It's a crappy shot, that's why it's hidden in my workshop :P
:)
(the background is actually a print of lights taken last year)

| Hey, when you need a Christmassy shot in a hurry and all the decorations and lights are still packed away in the loft, you do what you hafta do. You just do NOT enter it in a challenge! |

| was just wondering if anyone could highlight the difference between a 'bokeh' challenge and a 'shallow depth of field' challenge |

they are quite related because shallow DoF produces bokeh.

Correct! that was the reason i was wondering if there are any specific differences expected when we have 2 different challenges for the 2 items. |

I think Zigomar's reply answers your question.
Technically you can submit a photo that is entirely out of focus and will be within the challenge's spirit.
whereas that same photo wont quality as a shallow DoF entry, not unless he claims to be focusing on a spec of dust! |

| About 2 years ago there was a very good tutorial on Bokeh. It explained the difference of out of focus and the circles of light that is Bokeh. The article has been pulled the last time I looked. If the SC could find and reinsert the article in the tutorials, it would clear up the questions of good and bad Bohek. |

Since Canon users vastly outnumber Nikon and the rest what kind of odds are you giving? |

I'll wager that a 9-blade lens will take top billing...that is, if they're stopped down a little and not wide open.

I have been spending too much time in the "Art Rule" thread. My first thought on this one was that the foreground nutcracker was in sitting in front of a background photo or monitor screen. Not making any accusations at all, just laughing at myself for "artwork rule paranoia" after reading too many posts.

No not really. Something can be out of focus without having good bokeh.
The difference isn't easy to explain, but it is there.
Here is an article, although of limited use: bokeh
ETA: Here's another one.

I was always confused on this, I read the articals before many times and I guess I am just a blonde, |
