Bokeh has been defined as "the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light".[6] However, differences in lens aberrations and aperture shape cause some lens designs to blur the image in a way that is pleasing to the eye, while others produce blurring that is unpleasant or distracting—"good" and "bad" bokeh, respectively.[2] Bokeh occurs for parts of the scene that lie outside the Coarse bokeh on a photo shot with an 85 mm lens and 70 mm entrance pupil diameter, which depth of field.

The grey cloud is low, and the rain is steady, but the muted light is just perfect for the subject matter all around me, namely waves lapping around the artfully sculpted blocks of ice on the black sand. Now I’ve seen many images of this unique combination before – it’s an Icelandic photographic staple – but there’s no resisting the appeal of such stark, elemental beauty. In fact it’s a beauty that is enhanced by the flat lighting, a cold scene of black and blue with simple graphic appeal. But as so often is the case here in Iceland the conditions are difficult: apart from the rain, salty spray is being driven inshore off the waves and onto my increasingly crusty camera, lens and filter. So be it, such adversity is now familiar.

  • Instruments and Methods Cameras As Clocks
    Journal of Glaciology, Vol. 59, No. 214, 2013 doi:10.3189/2013JoG12J126 275 Instruments and Methods Cameras as clocks Ethan Z. WELTY,1 Timothy C. BARTHOLOMAUS,2 Shad O’NEEL,3,1 W. Tad PFEFFER1 1Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research, University of Colorado, Boulder, CO, USA E-mail: [email protected] 2Geophysical Institute, University of Alaska, Fairbanks, AK, USA 3Alaska Science Center, US Geological Survey, Anchorage, AK, USA ABSTRACT. Consumer-grade digital cameras have become ubiquitous accessories of science. Particu- larly in glaciology, the recognized importance of short-term variability has motivated their deployment for increasingly time-critical observations. However, such devices were never intended for precise timekeeping, and their use as such needs to be accompanied by appropriate management of systematic, rounding and random errors in reported image times. This study describes clock drift, subsecond reporting resolution and timestamp precision as the major obstacles to precise camera timekeeping, and documents the subsecond capability of camera models from 17 leading manufacturers. We present a complete and accessible methodology to calibrate cameras for absolute timing and provide a suite of supporting scripts. Two glaciological case studies serve to illustrate how the methods relate to contemporary investigations: (1) georeferencing aerial photogrammetric surveys with camera positions time-interpolated from GPS tracklogs; and (2) coupling videos of glacier-calving events to synchronous seismic waveforms. 1. INTRODUCTION procedures that extend their application and reliability as Digital cameras automatically record the capture date and scientific instruments would be useful developments, not just time of every image and video file. Such time-aware imagery for glaciologists but for the broader scientific community.
