I'm tired of hearing people mispronounce the Japanese word Bokeh, meaning the out of focus part of a photograph.
As the master of bokeh in my photography, and having lived in Japan and speaking the language for the last 18 years, I thought I'd put the record straight once and for all, and tell you how the Japanese actually pronounce it, and give you a little background on the meaning of the word.

Today, partially in answer to a listener's question, I walk you through the options available when buying a Fine Art Print from my online gallery.
The main thing to remember is if you aren't sure about the options, choose the defaults. This will always give the best results, and allows me the creative freedom to crop as necessary leaving a tasteful border. Of course you can always contact me with any queries too, and I'm open to specific requests that you can mail in advance or write into the optional comments field when ordering prints.
Today I announce the winners of the Fire Assignment and set the stage for the next Assignment which is on Long Exposures. Also, I explain about our yearly prize, DxO Optics Pro version 5 and Film Pack, kindly donated from DxO Labs!
The prize for the (almost) yearly prize is going to be DxO Labs' new DxO Optics Pro version 5 Elite version with Film Pack, worth almost $400. Check out DxO products at their Web site: http://www.dxo.com
Here are the winner's images and a graph showing the total accumulated scores for the year to date. The race is on for the DxO software: https://martinbaileyphotography.com/scores.php
