Fun thread! The last one is with an old P&S, so please excuse the graininess. It didn't handle very well in low light and this day was pretty overcast. It was taken at the "Big Chill at the Big House" hockey game - University of Michigan versus Michigan State at the U of M football stadium. =)

This is my wife who does not like her picture being taken. She'd probably kill me if she knew I posted this but I think she's always beautiful so I don't mind.

I know the lighting is bad but I had a very small window to snap off the shot.

EDIT: BTW that's her "Why the fvck are you taking my picture" look.

There are lots of ways to create a soft focus shot. My personal favourite is vaseline on the lens, leaving the section clear which you want to have the sharp focus in. Bokeh is a fairly simple procedure to achieve when you realise it's all about the f-stop. Snap off a load of shots in different light and keep a record of the settings for each shot. You'll find your path
