The out-of-focus-areas

I hesitate to use the word "bokeh" because some people have a visceral

reaction to it. But it's a good word that we need. And I like good

bokeh -- as in this picture from September 1997.



I *think* this was taken on Ektachrome 100SW film but I cannot tell

because the slide is mounted. And I *think* I may have used my Nikon

FE to get the picture.



And I don't know which mushroom this is, though I know I used to know.

That nipple-like protrusion on top and the radiating lines from it

are good indicators.



By the way, there is no post-production in this image. It's what I

took from the scanner.
