As they say, you have to first unlearn to learn. Most of the bokeh photos have an anchor point for the focus, I blindly believed that anchor point is a must to get those de-focused bokeh rings.

Suddenly you realise that you are missing the fundamental truth about the bokeh, that is you need to have de-focused light source, that is all to it. Then taking the beautiful bokeh pictures reduces to the following simple steps.

• Set the biggest aperture
• Put the lens in manual focus mode
• De-focus on the light source, depends on the asthetics.
• Take pictures

Intersting light sources make interesting bokeh pictures, the above one is that of backlights of the vechicles stuck at traffic.

The composition follows the Rule of Thirds and I love the little grains in the photo. The two buds add weight to overall composition.

A candid portrait taken at the Flower show at Lalbagh, Bangalore. Well, I don't one can think of taking candid shots with 50mm lens, the subject is all aware of your presense! I think, I am finally getting there, a place with less fear!

Tried very hard to get the exposure right, but failed.

Any ideas/tips to get the correct exposure for flowers like Jasmine and things are completely white?
