Bokeh

Personally I think Bokeh is overrated. Sometimes it's just a tired gimmick for those who can afford to buy nice lenses that have an f-stop of 1 or even bigger (or should I say smaller?). For an accomplished photographer like myself, I don't need to resort to these super fast lens.

(Come on god, give me one of those, I am begging you, someone somewhere just gives me one of those, please)

  1. Take a look at photos posted in this forum:

    The Bokeh of the Nikon and Canon camp really means nuts.

  2. Ha-ha. It's actually fun. There are just so many aspects of photography. Even I know deep down, a good picture can be pretty irrelevant with the gears. But the gear obsession is really part of the fun to certain people, myself included. Sometimes I can just spend all day or all night looking at old camera stuff online. It's a great way to waste time. Sadly my collection is not so respectable. And I can't make it up with any good pictures, I mean Getty is not asking for my pictures yet. So it's just sad.

  3. I meet one of the guy on that forum in the trip to Yunnam. They should be lens collector as oppose to photographer, I suppose.

Civil War (2024)

This is basically a Dorothy yellow brick road kind of story.  Also, something to do with the new replaces the old, the circle of life thing....
