01 Sep 10 - We're paying attention now. Please post only interesting images with deep depth of field. This is not the place to show off your fast lens.

About Bokeh Schmokeh! - NO BOKEH ALLOWED

***
BEFORE YOU EMBARRASS YOURSELF BY POSTING MORE BOKEH or BLUR TO THIS GROUP, HAVE SOMEONE READ THIS TO YOU...


Are you a schmokehr? Take the Bokeh Schmokeh challenge...

Tired of bokeh pimps? Sick of adolescent reliance on shallow depth of field? Think bokeh's a stupid word anyway? Well, you might be a Schmokehr...So stop down that lens. Keep your tripod in the car. Dust off that shutter release. Think. Compose. Recompose. Include. Exclude. You don't have to loathe bokeh, just the word bokeh. Fantastic bokeh. Luscious bokeh. Creamy bokeh. Be honest. The word makes you criiiiiinge. Join Bokeh Schmokeh! Because you understand that graceful composition doesn't need crutches. Because big f numbers are better (and for some reason, smaller). Because hierarchy matters. Because tertiary is more than a fifty-cent word. Because you have a hyperfocal and know how to use it. Because your lens has a tiny hole. And because the circle of confusion is.

Let's clarify. The Bokeh Schmokeh Dot is only for inspiring images that are sharp throughout the field of view. No bokeh! That's why we call it Bokeh Schmokeh. Let's put the "buy a fast prime and get instant ooohs and ahhhs" trend to bed.

And yes, every image in the pool must have a Bokeh Schmokeh dot.
