365 Project Day 348: Christmas Bokeh

December 17, 2011

It's Magic

Canon 5D Mark ll, 50 1.2L,  1.6 aperture, 1/40 shutter, 500 ISO,  intentionally out of focus

I am a bokeh girl. Beautiful  bokeh speaks calm and sweetness to my soul. It is why I love my 50 1.2 L and my 70-200 2.8 L lenses. Both create a creamy dreamy background when they are used in their widest aperture or f stop. Still seeking simplicity, I shot a couple of these intentionally out of focus as Chris and I were driving around looking at Christmas lights tonight. Such a simple joy.

If you would like to know more about Bokeh and how to achieve it in your own photographs, there is nice tutorial here. Some of the images there are amazing and I want to try them!

Blessings and may you dream in beautiful bokeh tonight.

Psalm 34:7 ~”Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.”
