Bokeh Joker - a photo on Flickriver

Bokeh Joker

            These cards are from a box of two complete packs in my mother's effects when she died at 102. The cards themselves are in near mint condition, but their box, from a famous Viennese maker, is clearly not of recent vintage and has not aged so well. My mother was also Viennese-made, but, even though it seems quite likely that the cards came with her to Melbourne, no one will ever know.  Nor will they know if the packs originally included jokers — my mother was a bridge player and that was no joking matter…

This photo was taken to illustrate a geometry that produces the bokeh effect I am after in a group I have tried to establish (Bokeh before, Bokeh behind).

Many people have submitted photographs that are excellent, but which have missed the point of the group. No doubt primarily a language issue, so I have tried to get the idea across visually in the group description, with the aid of this image.

The group's theme is not illustrated by this photo itself (which ideally would have been taken with a pin-hole camera), but it is visible to some extent within the image region showing the compact camera's screen. The camera aperture was wide open at a claimed f1.8, and close inspection reveals that it homed in on the face of the Q♠️. The K♥️ and J♦️ were in front of and behind the DoF respectively. 

Because the compact camera can only attain its largest relative aperture at the wide-angle end of its zoom range, the bokeh effect is not as pronounced as it would be with a narrower angle lens on a larger format camera, but there is enough to illustrate the effect that the group is interested in.
