Does that mean if it happens? His or her photos aren't going to be any good? In all my years of shooting long before I joined the LUG, I never ever knew nor do I ever recall hearing or reading the word "Bokeh!" I of course was quite surprised to learn it was such a terrible effect for some users! So I began looking for the demon Bokeh to show it's face in my photographs many many times. As yet it hasn't revealed it's vile effects for me to recognize or be concerned with to date. Still haven't found it and dismissed it "as one of those things guys chat about!" Instead of out shooting interesting photo moments. My major concern in being a photographer has always been?? "THE CONTENT AND DOES IT KNOCK YOUR SOCKS OFF CAPTURING THE PRECISE MOMENT IN TIME WITH THE GREATEST EFFECT!" CLICK! Game over! Bokeh???????????? cheers, Dr. ted :-)
