#Helios 44 2 bokeh how to#

Most of the time, I actually try to avoid creating it.

Shoot wider open and place uneven backgrounds towards corners and edges for swirly bokeh If the the subjects behind depth of field are far away and smooth surfaces like your walls here you won't see swirly bokeh. Narrow down depth of field by opening more up and getting in closer. You are using 1.6x crop frame camera so you get more depth of field.

I'll figure out how to get the swirlies sooner or later. I think it only works if there are a lot of reflective surfaces (e.g., lighted leaves or flowers) behind the subject.

I'm not sure if those dark spots are caused by dust from the old lens or from the sensor.įilm: Canonet 28, Canonet QL-17, Nikon FM2 Posted: Sat 12:06 pm Post subject: First BOKEH shots with a Helios 44-2 58mm f/2
