Hi,

Currently i'm using Canon 7D with Helios 44M 58 f/2.
But i still don't know how to take a shot with a swirl bokeh inside.
Anyone here please help me the right way to do it.

Thanks.

shot at aperture F2.0 ???

What a swirl bokeh?

Not all Helios have a good swirl bokeh and you may not see it everytime even with the right lens.

You would need a somewhat uniform background for the effect to pop out, otherwise it is there, but not significant. Try shooting your subject against trees or grass. A distant background with lots of color lights would be great too.

u ned to shot with lower aperture like f4 and the background must be high contrast like tree leaf..

yup bro, i did check on the net how to shoot a swirl bokeh.
btw, nice info. thanks.

here's 1 sample of my photos:

Just me or the bokeh really distracting? I always bokeh is supposed look smooth so the subject will more pop up...

yup, it's not only distracting but it's really disgusting actually.
i disobeyed all the photography rules indeed.
but what i want to show in the pic is how the bokeh swirled.
rules followed by the specific amount of light, and distance between subject and background.

cat eye bokeh

go get this lens.
it'll never disappoint u.
