Lights blurred

[Designer]

the out of focus lights are still blurry.

What do ya mean, I thought if it's out of focus it's going to be blurry? Are they not supposed to be blurry?

No.

Have a look at some good examples of this effect, and try to get the same result.

Oh... That's cool I'll try that tonight. I think I have some different colors. But all I have is a point and shoot. I use the manual mode but I don't have a manual focus. So I have to bend down, focus on something close then move back and take the shot. I'm saving up for a dslr but idk how long it will take. Only 17 and dont drive. I live on a farm in the middle of no where.
