Japanese would love this,they have fetish for bokeh.

I have retitled my photo in tribute to your remark.

Thanks for your comment. It might interest you to learn that this picture has been cropped. The foreground was out-of-focus because the camera's AF picked the wrong part of the scene. That was of course my fault, but it makes me reflect on what I am trying to achieve.
You don’t have much margin for error in pursuit of bokeh and sometimes the subject is not sharp. Reasons for this might include the sensor picking the wrong part of the subject, or movement, however slight, as you press the shutter. You cannot exclude the possibility of demanding more from the AF system than it can manage, notably at close focussing distances. I ask myself if bokeh always looks appealing and whether I would object if more of the picture was in focus. I might even prefer it if it was. And bokeh demands lenses which have fast apertures with f/1.4 being considered the very least. That is a cost that wedding photographers might accept, but why should amateurs? Bokeh is not essential. In times gone by nobody much missed it. They might even have criticised it as blurry. So I don’t really care much about bokeh. I might try to get it purely for amusement, that is all.
You are probably quite right to call bokeh a fetish.

;)

interesting bokeh comments.
I just want to be walking down this lane.

I want you to be walking down this lane too.

Well, you wouldn't today.
Just got a positive Covid result.
Dammit.

Well, clearly that pleasurable experience must be deferred. Meanwhile I shall find other things to do instead of forlornly mooching around in this lane anticipating your appearance. It's not even a very nice lane to be. Appearances can be deceptive, especially in photography.
I hope you will not be malingering for long, or in other words, get well soon.
