the bokeh in front really works here! Looks completely natural.Not sunny in Sydney as it should be this time of year, more so cloudy, even damp. We're (sort of) being told to stay in (albeit the local government's still allowing 30,000 spectators into a stadium to watch a game of cricket!) and I did stay in most of the day, but thought I'd go for a walk in empty space for an hour.

Many thanks Bart, appreciated. As a file note to myself, I should recognise three things, 1) I sometimes experiment by going against convention and shooting landscape wide open and my experience shows it does often work (also, I do feel some sort of achievement when front and back bokeh is effected), 2) The thing is, I can't really tell from chimping whether a wide open landscape shot has worked, I only know when the file's uploaded to the computer and 3), I only seem able to achieve that kind of shot with MF glass with my brain seeing the focusing dot on the DSLR as a rangefinder patch, I honestly don't think the same shot would look the same using AF glass.the bokeh in front really works here! Looks completely natural.
