Bokeh Playtime


I am sharing the black and white photo Just Because I took it... 


My new Nikon is not as easy to take Bokeh with as my Canon Rebel. I decided to practice on the Christmas lights in the Nook and you know the rest of the story.... 
I went MadSnapper Crazy. 




I almost deleted this out of focus/bokeh but decided to PicMonkey it..

Above I added my Santa photo as a texture, played with saturation and added border and greeting.
Below I just added the greeting and the sleigh.

    Love them all. Your nook is a photographic playground. In that first picture the stem on that piece in the center looks like running water to me.

    "Madsnapper Crazy"? I like that. I like the photos too. Now I have to go look up "bokeh".

    Best,

    Beautiful results from your photo playtime Sandra. Very sparkly and creative. I like the Santa one and the soft focus coloured lights on the stem of the glass.

    Your right, the only reason I got the bokeh look on my It's a Wonderful Life ornament is because of my Rebel camera. I find that I can't do it on my point and shoot. I love the lights around the stemmed glass.

    I love that B&W, and I love the first edit where you added the Santa...the other is nice, but just the Santa is my favorite.

    Is there a cure for "Madsnapper Crazy?" You're so cute. Enjoyed your photos. That B&W is nice.
