Challenge: Bokeh (Advanced Editing IV)
Camera: Nikon D100
Lens: Nikon AF Nikkor 50mm f/1.8
Location: basement
Date: Jan 9, 2005
Aperture: 1.8
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/80
Galleries: Abstract
Date Uploaded: Jan 7, 2005

 Guitar with bunched up Christmas lights in the background.
I know it's a weird shot but I'm going for abstract this time =)

I expect to get comments about the DOF being too shallow, but I had to set to 1.8 to get the bokeh effect I desired with the lights.

I'll be impressed with anyone who notices the sixth string is missing =)

Lens: Nikkor 50mm 1.8

I gave this a 10 for the same reasons you liked it, creative stuff indeed!

Wow, thanks Denis.
Glad you got the jimi hendrix ref (well I hope that's what you meant by Jimmy) in the title, that's exactly what I was going for!

I'm somewhat discriminating of titles and I have to say you are hands down the best titler i've seen here. Your headlines are concise and often basted with witty insights of philosophy and pop culture. I love em'!

Jimmy would have digged that sheen. 3 faves, nice!

Another bokeh overkill, but not to worry. You have created a unique image whuth that abstract look and all is forgiven. Bumping up.

I love guitar shots and yours is an excellent job. There is much here for the eye to feast on. The multi-colored lights in the background are a treat and the reflection of the lights on the strings/fretboard are a touch of genius. I wish more of the guitar in the foreground were sharply focussed, giving the eye a natural "home base" to return to. Still, the bokeh kicks ass.

Maybe you got a little hooked on the bokeh idea - which I've also seen in many of the challenge entries here. I like the idea, but I think the DOF is too shallow since the only thing I can see, is the "Jackson" logo.

all bokeh, no substance, in my eye. The picture's all about the blobs, the rest is incidental. seems backlwards to me. but stunning bokeh.

The short definition of Bokeh from KenRockwell.com, which I am using for voting on this challenge: "Bokeh describes the rendition of out-of-focus points of light." Definitely present, and so colorul. Is the subject enhanced by the bokeh of the background? Somewhat. This shot feels a bit contrived, and I wish there was just a little more of the guitar in focus. Nice effect on the neck though.

Very nice boken, round and colorful! I'd like to see just a bit more of the guitar, or jsut a bit more in focus. Nice image...
