telephone bokeh

HBW, everyone. I’m not sure how much longer pay telephones will be taking up wall space in public places — as mobile devices get cheaper and even more dominant. Who knows?

    I love the bokeh and the yellow phones… the
    phones were usually black.
    To me, this little difference makes your
    photo even more interesting !!!

    Great idea, and well done. As kids we used to
    play "broken telephone" — I guess
    this "bokeh telephone" is the adult
    photographer’s equivalent. Excellent image.

    Funny you should post this and ask this
    question today this morning I saw a pay phone
    being ripped out of the street and removed
    and was thinking the same thing, alas I was
    late for a meeting so didnt have time to
    catch a shot of it

    This is a wonderful shot though great point
    of view and repeating phone bokeh

    Paul, I agree that the overuse of the word
    bokeh is annoying. But it really is not
    identical to DOF, at least as I’m using it
    here. By bokeh, I’m referring to the
    out-of-focus highlight areas (which are
    often, but not always, a result of a narrow
    DOF) — and I think the way I’m using it does
    make sense, since the one word replaces a
    long and cumbersome phrase. It’s also the way
    people I respect use the word (see the
    various discussions on bokeh on the Canon
    DSLR User Group). Still, I get your point
    about hating the word. It’s overused, and
    often used sloppily, as your comment,
    ironically, shows.
