_MG_2067_85 AFD on 20D.jpg

This photo was uploaded on 2013_061o in this TPF thread http://www.thephotoforum.com/forum/photography-beginners-forum/330262-bokeh-foreground.html

This second image, made just a few seconds later, shows the foreground element clearly--the leaves of a young aspen tree, in evening light. In this shot, all the bokeh comes from the out of focus cedar tree. The maple tree is still there, but it has been rendered basically of zero importance. An astute viewer can see from my lesson that this is basically a focus pull. These shots were made hand-held, just second apart,as part of my then-fascination with bokeh as a compositional building block. A person can actually USE bokeh, as a compositional "element". I even wrote a blog post about bokeh as a compositional building block, and how it differs in Western and Eastern cultures.
