Creamy bokeh. Well,OK. Why not say blurry to give definition to the main subject. And the nature of the background and its texture and distance are critical to the blurry effect. What am I trying to remember. Oh yes, the sign on our donut shop on Tremont St, Boston. " As you wander on through life brother, let this always be your goal. Keep your eye on the donut and not on the hole" And now we sell the donut holes, to donut hole salesmen a gift....I myself stick to donuts. And leave the bokeh to the Japanese bokeshoguns... but it gives someting to stir the mind on lazy days. Oh well,sokay and not gonna go away...bokeh bokeh,creamy and frozen..

What I do at a urinal is a non topic. Biggest question always is how many times do you need to shake it at the end. Only my urologist knows for sure. We conquered the bokeh problem years ago Jardine. Even with lenses like the Zeiss Tessar F 3.5 But shucks now I forgot what we did. We either did something or we were unschooled in the mystery of bokeh. Does Isaiah say anything about bokeh..no I think not...:-)

No comment on strange things males do, other than pixel peep. Regarding bokeh - and it's cousin DOF - I generally tend to just move my camera closer to the subject if I want to really blur the background.  Pretty simple stuff.
