18th January 2009 – Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre’s Open Day!

Today’s excessively delightful bokeh is brought to you by the Sony A900 and Carl Zeiss 135mm F1.8.

(And sometimes the Minolta 24-105mm F3.5-4.5(D) which can give surprisingly shallow depth of field when focused near.)

Back to telephoto cream.

Nick Davis… performing on a plastic chair.

He is flanked by not one stringer…

…but two.

Douglas Lim and Joe Hasham judging a talent contest.

I am not sure if she was a contestant or performer.

As for this wider, more vignetted shot, the Minolta 50mm F1.4 did it.

Reflection.

I took this shot because it was spinning white, but at ISO200 F1.8 the shutter speed was hitting 1/4000th of a second! (Which was a nice accident.)

I love DRO Level 5 outdoors – it gives a subtle film-like graduation. The Minolta 24-105mm accentuates that.

Nicholas C. at close focus.
