If you don't already know him, meet Gary Fong. He is a "Professional Photographer", in other words he supports himself and his family through his photography and photography related business.

Gary uses Sony cameras side by side with Nikon and Canon products as well as other brands. He doesn't waste energy or time with a webpage devoted to putting down any one brand or Brandvsbrand type thing.

He does have his own products that he kinda pushes, but that's part of his livelihood

 

His videos are really helpful

This is the guy with the really professional pricing for a bunch of plastic, isn't it? Would be a nice idea to hear something about marketing and business economics from him than photography most mortals never need or afford.

      Bokeh?

      By Cameratose · Posted

      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.
