Bokehness from my Nikon D60 + Nikkor AF 50mm f1.8D

Bokeh (derived from Japanese boke ぼけ, a noun form of bokeru ぼける, "become blurred or fuzzy") is a photographic term referring to the appearance of out-of-focus areas in an image produced by a camera lens using a shallow depth of field.^[1] Different lens bokeh produces different aesthetic qualities in out-of-focus backgrounds, which are often used to reduce distractions and emphasize the primary subject.

AIPO Analog Series AP-Mini Dry Cabinet (20L)

Bought this unit from ShaShinki last week at RM250. I've keep all my photography's gears inside it ... of cause afraid of FUNGUS !!. I find that its enough to fit with 2 camera's bodies + 5 lenses or more .. so no problem to store my current gears + my wish gear in future.

Info:

Analog cabinet setting guide:
1- set the dial at center. let the cabinet to stable for one day.
2- obtain the reading from the meter.
3- if reading is lower than ur desire range - reduce the power of the dry module ( turn the dial abit only).
4- if reading is higher than ur desire range - increase the power of the dry module ( turn the dial abit only).
