[OM] bokeh

[Brent]

Hi

Your discussions about bokeh inspired me to have a play this afternoon.

Not sure if the bokeh in these photos is 'pleasing' or not.  All taken  
with an OM Zuiko 50mm f1.4 on a Canon EOS 350D - all hand held.   This  
lens always seems to have a "glowing" look about it, although it's not  
blur... the 'in focus' bits are as sharp as anything I've seen using  
my wife's L series lenses.

This one has that soft, smooth? look despite the spikey subject:

"Spot the bit in focus":

It is really hard focusing with the 350D :-(  wish I had a split focus  
thing, or at least a bigger viewfinder...
