I was invited to produce an amazing idea, a real Half Glass Full. My duty was to shoot the whole production process of this glass, from hot fire to the final product, and to produce a series of Instagram Stories, a bunch of photos and a 45 seconds web video with a tight budget and a short deadline. Well, that's the final result. All shot with a Sony A7 III + FE 24mm 1.4 + FE 55mm 1.8 + FE 90mm Macro f2.8. 

You can see all the project here: https://www.behance.net/gallery/73941355/Half-Glass-Full

The first step towards progress, it's optimism. Hope you like it.

What a great short film that demonstrates what the A7iii can deliver in the right hands with the right lens - thank you for sharing (I am not really a video shooter but great to see this as it endorses the cameras capability should I need to shoot video).

    • Shooting a cactus flower is probably where you do want to have nice bokeh. I can't recall which camera you're shooting, or maybe you haven't said, but using live view you can see what the shot will look like before you press the button. Try setting up on a flower or something stationary where you can control the background and see the changes different settings make. 
    • That's what I got from your post here: When shooting at f/11, bokeh is indeed not something you should be concerned with, unless when shooting closeup. Nearly all lenses have a polygonal iris shape at f/11 which naturally gives a more edgy rendering of out of focus areas. @Cameratose's example is perfect for demonstrating the relevance of bokeh. To some extent you can influence the backdrop of a shot, but if it is busy foliage relatively close by, it'd better not be distracting from your subject. Some lenses are able to create a more pleasing background than others, even at the same aperture setting and focal length. For the impact of the entire image one might even argue that the smoothness of the background is as relevant as the sharpness of the subject.
    • Like Cameratose, I usually go for as much depth of field as I can, but sometimes there is no getting around out of focus areas, such as a closeup of a cactus flower.  I guess, everything else being equal, I might be concerned about a lenses bokeh, but everything else is seldom equal.  At this point in my photography I think I have bigger problems than unattractive bokeh.
