Are there still photography magazines? There used to be a whole slew of photography magazines and easily the most frequently submitted photos by amateurs were of lake docks in mist or fog floating seemingly free of any connection to anything else.

I didn't write that well but YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!

If you don't there's something wrong with you not me NOT ME!

It's like the dock is a platform from this world to another. And it is!

They're both great by the way everything else is eliminated.

I was studying a photograph taken with the 60mm lens. It was recent. Maybe I should just find it. There were a couple in a row where the bokeh is blended so beautifully it turns regular photos into art. It is a very sexy lens this way. Reflections and glints do not take distinct shapes as some photographers love, glints being tiny hexagons or what have you, these are all light spots that blend, each one perfect. Look at any tiny glint and expand it. It looks like you took a sipping straw and gently blew white onto the picture, with some overlapping.

This photo the lens at this setting has a very thin wall of focus in front of it. Depth of field. Whatever I aim it at only a portion will fall into the area of focus and everything else gradually gets less clear. They stack lenses to create this artistic effect. The focal points are sharp and everything else fades away. Sometimes you can hardly make it out. Here it is There are coins on the table, you can hardly see them. There is another table and an apparent space between them. Something green is on the other table. It is the reflection of the tabletop of the lighted aquarium behind it but you see none of that, just the green patch with no clue to what it is, yet the green patch happens to balance another green patch, a tiny green patch on the butter dish. That's all accident.

It's FUCKING ARTS man, right there! *flaps arms*

The lens did that. Created art where crap exists. It's nothing but crap on the table.

My phone camera will pick up all the crap and there'll be none of the art.

Here is another where the junk in the back is not so distracting. You can make out what the things in the back are. The blurred objects in the background compliment the subject and give it place. But all this accident. I'm just showing what I'm doing and this impressive lens is making it art.

Autocorrect keeps changing lens to sense, what a disxlcksi.
