Scott - what lens did you use for these shots? The bokeh is quite "nervous" (not sure how else to put it), which normally would sound bad but here I kind of like the uneasy feeling it gives.

I've seen similar bokeh from a Bausch & Lomb Tessar 1c 75mm f/3.5 lens

Hey David. I can see what you mean. It's a 50/1.8 on a 5D. I love the lens....

I've come to prefer shooting wide open after shooting a lot of brass with collodion. I like the look.

What happened here to make the bokeh different was the angle. I was above and leaning over. The razor sharp plane of focus is on the laces.

No idea who left them there...

Quite a nice morning for once, wish I had taken the proper camera instead of the digital one

Gary, that's just a wonderful image, beautiful light and nice "slowing down" of the surf. While I just came back from a short outing with the 4x5, your image is one of those that makes me wonder why we use large format when the more recent digital slrs can record such beautiful images.

Thank you Peter i am going back to this location with my 5x8 hopefully the light does it thing , We are in our summer now so we mostly get cloudless skys and strong breezes ,So you have to be lucky this time of year. Cheers Gary
