When photographers use shallow depth-of-field, the purpose is usually to make the subject of the photo stand out from the background.  Unfortunately, this usually means that the photographer forgets about the aesthetic quality of the area not in focus and pays attention only to the subject.  Big mistake.  This article seeks to teach photographers how to achieve beautiful bokeh.

Bokeh is the quality of the portion of a photograph that is not in sharp focus.  The pronunciation of “bokeh” is debated, but the photo world seems to have settled on the pronunciation “bouquet.”  Many photographers do not realize that they can control the aesthetic quality of the bokeh.  There are four basic techniques to improve your bokeh: adjusting depth-of-field, choosing the proper lens, creating custom bokeh, and using bokeh to relate with the foreground.

1. Adjusting Depth-of-Field

Because bokeh is the blurry portion of an image, it is directly related to depth of field, which controls how much of the image is out of focus.  A low aperture value produces short depth-of-field, and consequently a larger blurry portion of the image.  Also, the shorter the focal length, the greater the depth of field.  The last consideration in controlling depth of field is the lens-to-focal point distance.  A longer distance between the lens and the focal point creates a greater depth-of-field. 

Many beginning photographers always push for the lowest aperture available.  This is a mistake.  Often, the blurry portion of the photo is more aesthetically pleasing if enough detail is left in the background to make out some shapes or objects.  The first rule to better bokeh is to determine proper depth-of-field rather than always choosing the blurriest background available.  

2. Choosing the Proper Lens

The aperture is a group of several blades which form a circle or octagon through which the light passes to the sensor.  Apertures which utilize more blades or have curved blades will produce more circular-shaped light bursts in the bokeh, while apertures with more octagonal openings produce a similarly-shaped light burst.  Many photographers prefer the circular bokeh to the more octagonal shapes.  Generally, more expensive lenses use more blades and/or utilize curved aperture blades in an effort to produce a more circular bokeh.

3. Creating Custom Bokeh

A few years ago, it became very popular for photographers to create special cut-outs in various shapes to go on a lens.  The shape of the cut-out will control the shape of the light bursts in the bokeh.  This is a very creative and eye-catching effect as long as it is not overdone.  To create this effect, simply punch out a small (approximately the size of a dime) shape in a black piece of paper.  Then tape this paper over the front of the lens as if it were a lens cap, with the cut-out precisely in the middle of the lens.  When you take a picture, the bokeh will reflect the shape of the cut-out.

4. Relating the Foreground with the Background

Often, the most captivating photographs are those which do something that the viewer did not anticipate.  Relating the sharp foreground subject of an image with something in the blurry portion of the image can create a truly creative image.  You’ve probably seen this effect in wedding photography when a bride is close to the camera and in sharp focus, with the groom blurry in the background.  This technique is even stronger when the foreground not only relates to the background, but when it interacts with it.  

Bokeh is one of the most-used photographic techniques, but one of the least focused-on.  Applying these four methods to achieving better bokeh will dramatically improve your photography.

sebelah dada ayam

sebungkus cendawan shitake

sos tiram

kicap pekat dan kicap cair

serbuk lada hitam

sesudu kecil minyak bijan

4-5 cawan air (ikut suka pun boleh)

3-4 sudu besar tepung jagung untuk pemekat ( harus di bancuh dengan air)

sayur sawi

yee mee 

Cara:

tumis bawang putih, halia dan cili kering bila hingga kekuningan

masukkan ayam kemudian sedikit air..

masukkan cendawan..

masukkan air, biarkan seketika hingga ayam masak.. 

masukkan semua perasa (kicap, sos tiram,lada hitam)

masukkan minyak bijan

tutup seketika.. pastikan cendawan dan ayam betul2 masak

masukkan cecair tepung jagung untuk memekatkan kuah..

bila rasa dah ok... dah boleh la mulakan proses membuat yee mee atas hot plate tu...

update:

mula mula masukkan mee atas hot plate, letakkan sayur di atasnya, kemudian curahkan kuahnya sesenduk di atas mee tersebut, pecahkan telur jika mahu, dan teruskan mencurahkan kuah beserta lauk dan cendawan secukupnya... kacau kacau mee untuk serasakan kelembutannya

kalau takda hot plate.. boleh je satukan.. masukkan yee mee bersama kuah dalam kuali..

untuk yee mee nya:

rendam seketika dengan air masak, dalam 5-10 minit, kemudian buang airnya dan biarkan seketika.

air tu perlu dibuang untuk mengelakkan mee terlalu lembut, 

anda akan dapati mee masih lagi keras ketika air telah dibuang,

namun jangan risau, mee itu akan cepat lembut bila dibiarkan seketika..

lagipun nanti kita akan masak mee itu sekali lagi bersama kuahnya.

mee itu akan lembut juga nanti, so tak perlu la rendam lelama.. =)

The taxonomy of this list adheres to James Clements' Birds of the World: A Checklist, and reflects all changes to that work until July, 2005. Taxonomic changes are on-going. As more research is gathered from studies of distribution, behavior, and DNA, the order and number of families and species may change. Furthermore, different approaches to ornithological nomenclature have led to concurrent systems of classification (see Sibley-Ahlquist taxonomy).

The area covered by this list corresponds with the Asian listing area as defined by the American Birding Association[1]. The area includes Russia east of the Ural River and Ural Mountains and the Russian Arctic islands east of but not including Novaya Zemlya, as well as Kazakhstan, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Turkey (except for the portion north of the Bosporus, Sea of Marmara, and the Dardanelles), and Cyprus.

 The area is separated from Africa by the Suez Canal. In the Indian Ocean it includes Sri Lanka, Lakshadweep (the Laccadive Islands), the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, but does not include Socotra (Africa), the Maldives, the Chagos Archipelago, and Christmas Island (all Indian Ocean). It includes the Russian islands in the Bering Sea and North Pacific. Japan, the Izu Islands (except Nampo Shoto and the Daito Islands), the Ryukyu Islands, Taiwan, the Philippines, Malaysia, and most of Indonesia.

 In Indonesia, the dividing line between Asia and Australasia runs through the Banda and Molucca Seas with Sulawesi, Banggai and Talaud on the Asian side, and the islands of Kai, Ceram, Buru, the Sula Group, and Morotai on the Australasian side.

KL BIRD PARK

Located in the serene and scenic Kuala Lumpur Lake Gardens, it is only 10 minutes drive away from the city centre of Kuala Lumpur. It is the home to more than 3,000 birds of approximately 200 species of local and foreign birds.

Sprawling approximately 20.9 acres of verdant valley terrain, the park is divided into 4 zones; Zone 1 and 2 make up the free-flight zone; Zone 3 is the Hornbill Park and Zone 4 is where the birds are placed in separate cages and mini aviaries.

One of KL Bird Park's most extraordinary feature is that in Zone 1, 2 and 3, birds are let free in the aviary which closely resembles their natural habitat. With this free-flight concept, birds are able to breed naturally in this unique environment.

Visitors will have an exciting experience of watching colourful and melodic birds perching and winging about freely while relaxing in a natural and beautifully landscaped surrounding. KL Bird Park is also reputed to be the largest walk-in free-flight aviary in the world.

Bird cute

You're beautiful, that's for sure

You'll never ever fade

You're lovely but it's not for sure

That I won't ever change

And though my love is rare

Though my love is true

[Chorus:]

I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away

I don't know where my soul is, I don't know where my home is 

(and baby all I need for you to know is)

I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away

I don't know where my soul is , I don't know where my home is

All I need for you to know is

Your faith in me brings me to tears

Even after all these years

And it pains me so much to tell

That you don't know me that well

And though my love is rare

Though my love is true

[Chorus]

It's not that I wanna say goodbye

It's just that every time you try to tell me that you love me

Each and every single day I know 

I'm going to have to eventually give you away

And though my love is rare

And though my love is true

Hey I'm just scared

That we may fall through

[Chorus x3]

Birds (class Aves or clade Avialae) are feathered, winged, bipedal, endothermic (warm-blooded), egg-laying, vertebrate animals. With around 10,000 living species, they are the most speciose class of tetrapod vertebrates. All present species belong to the subclass Neornithes, and inhabit ecosystems across the globe, from the Arctic to the Antarctic. Extant birds range in size from the 5 cm (2 in) Bee Hummingbird to the 2.75 m (9 ft) Ostrich. The fossil record indicates that birds emerged within theropod dinosaurs during the Jurassic period, around 150 million years ago. Birds are the only members of the clade originating with the earliest dinosaurs to have survived the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event 66 million years ago.

Modern birds are characterised by feathers, a beak with no teeth, the laying of hard-shelled eggs, a high metabolic rate, a four-chambered heart, and a lightweight but strong skeleton. All living species of birds have wings; the most recent species without wings was the moa, which is generally considered to have become extinct in the 16th century. Wings are evolved forelimbs, and most bird species can fly. Flightless birds include ratites, penguins, and a number of diverse endemic island species. Birds also have unique digestive and respiratory systems that are highly adapted for flight. Some birds, especially corvids and parrots, are among the most intelligent animal species; a number of bird species have been observed manufacturing and using tools, and many social species exhibit cultural transmission of knowledge across generations.

Many species undertake long distance annual migrations, and many more perform shorter irregular movements. Birds are social; they communicate using visual signals and through calls and songs, and participate in social behaviours, including cooperative breeding and hunting, flocking, and mobbing of predators. The vast majority of bird species are socially monogamous, usually for one breeding season at a time, sometimes for years, but rarely for life. Other species have polygynous ("many females") or, rarely, polyandrous ("many males") breeding systems. Eggs are usually laid in a nest and incubated by the parents. Most birds have an extended period of parental care after hatching.

Many species are of economic importance, mostly as sources of food acquired through hunting or farming. Some species, particularly songbirds and parrots, are popular as pets. Other uses include the harvesting of guano (droppings) for use as a fertiliser. Birds figure prominently in all aspects of human culture from religion to poetry to popular music. About 120–130 species have become extinct as a result of human activity since the 17th century, and hundreds more before then. Currently about 1,200 species of birds are threatened with extinction by human activities, though efforts are underway to protect them.

oooo monkey

A monkey is a primate of the Haplorrhini suborder and simian infraorder, either an Old World monkey or a New World monkey, but excluding apes and humans. There are about 260 known living species of monkey. Many are arboreal, although there are species that live primarily on the ground, such as baboons. Monkeys are generally considered to be intelligent. Unlike apes, monkeys usually have tails. Tailless monkeys may be called "apes", incorrectly according to modern usage; thus the tailless Barbary macaque is called the "Barbary ape".

The New World monkeys (superfamily Ceboidea) are classified within the parvorder of Platyrrhini, whereas the Old World monkeys (superfamily Cercopithecoidea) form part of the parvorder Catarrhini, which also includes the hominoids (apes, including humans). Thus, as Old World monkeys are more closely related to hominoids than they are to New World monkeys, the monkeys are not a unitary (monophyletic) group.
