Have you had any rain?
No, but we weren't expecting any. We have a Mediterranean climate, no rain in
summer. All our water comes from reservoirs and snow pack from winter
precipitation. Whether we are in plenty or drought depends entirely on winter.
I was wondering. I have moved from Scottsdale to Prescott AZ and have been
blessed with a lot of monsoon rain here. I am not too familiar with which
places experience monsoon season in the US.
Wow, a short distance with big changes in climate and culture! You going to the
Rodeo?
I've acquired a few alt lenses lately and have been experimenting with bokeh
effects on similar subjects.
The rendering of the subject is relatively straightforward; one variable,
aperture. Bokeh has three, aperture, subject distance and background distance,
so it's a lot more complex.
It's harder than I thought it would be to get something decent.
LOL! Indeed, it is. But it's all for fun, no? So if no fun, just don't do it.
😉
Oh no, it is definitely fun. The challenge is part of the fun. I hope to try
and be more rigorous, though, as I have acquired more lenses. Hard to keep
track of what settings or lens I was using.
PC, or Mac? For PCs, there's an obscure, but simple, way to get it all in EXIF. I'd be lost without it. I always get
EXIF right before importing into LR.
Just added one experiment at the end of this album:

Ricoh Rikenon P 55mm/1.2 Pentax mount @ F1.2
Here the background distance being somewhat close makes a difference.
Certainly interesting! How appealing, I'm not sure. 😁 'Twere mine, I'd tame the bokeh a bit and let the subject
separate. <http://www.moosemystic.net/Gallery/Others/WayneS/Rikenon.htm>
