Bokeh II
Lights from IKEA with my new favourite lens the Nikkor 35mm f2
In focus (sort of) and with a wide depth of field this would be a background.
Depth of field small lots of Bokeh. Nice heh?
Shopping Trip
IKEA is an interesting place. From the quirky flat pack furniture, sprung wood laminate chairs and lighting components you don't seem to find elsewhere its a eclectic mix of interesting and sometimes innovative design. Other times its WTF? Did you know IKEA has named their cheap stuff after Danish places, while the more expensive and luxurious stuff is named after Swedish places? For example Noresskog, Mattlig and Karlstad are product names and one at least (Karlstad) is a Municipality in Sweden. Fascinating huh?

iPhone Images
The Best camera is the one you have with you when you make pictures (see previous post)
The 3Gs camera's resolution is 3 megapixels with a 2.8 lens and has auto ISO and it will let you choose which spot you want to focus on simply by touching on the screen. It's reported to have so-so low light performance but the image below captured hand held in full night well after sunset is proof of its ability.

Random Image
For my Black & White project I only took two lenses out, the Nikkor 35mm f2 prime and the Tokina 11-16 f2.8 wide angle. I found myself using the 35mm almost exclusively because the 35mm on a cropped sensor camera, the D300, is equivalent in its effective focal length as a 50mm prime would on a full frame camera (Nikon D3, D700 or a Canon 5D Mk II etc). That is its closest to what you see with your eyes. The 35mm is tack sharp and has great bokeh and has been on my camera a lot since I got it a couple of weeks ago. See post.
