Hmm...I don't think you can call a 100% blurry photo one that shows the
bokeh of a lens. If I took all my lenses and set them at 1/4 second wide
open and shook them around as I tripped the shutter could we have a bokeh
discussion on their qualities? ...oh, don't answer that, I forgot this is
the LUG.

Anyway, I like the second shot w/ the dog.
