Agapanthus

Mount Pleasant SC


Lily of the Nile.

Can't quite explain the unusual bokeh! The leaves of the shrubs were
being blown around, and I was shooting at 3.5 1/60 so I expected some
narrow depth of focus. The ? mottled bokeh ? may be from condensation
on the inside glass of the lens, as the camera was taken from a cool room
out into humid and hot conditions (although then let come up to temperature
for several minutes). There was no apparent external fogging. And the bloom
itself seems to be fine. Other images on this roll do not have this effect.

Rolleiflex K8T3, Zeiss Tessar 1:3,5 f=75mm, Koda Portra 160NC

It looks great to me that bokeh, even it look a bit "warped" .
