A Load of Bokeh

Shalom Samal!

I especially like this one. Those warm tones along with the tremendous detail and smooth background really appeal to me.

Great composition and lighting. Which lens did you use? And where did you set up the bike to get those pinpoints of light for the bokeh? Marvelous set up.

Timing, I guess. I mostly shoot within an hour or two sunset when the lighting is soft and from the side. Here's a shot a few minutes earlier to give you an idea of the lighting.

I used my 50/1.8 (on a crop body). If I had to do it again, I'd probably select the 35/1.8 instead, as it renders out-of-focus points of light as circles instead of hexagons.

Either way, it's a great image. As is this one. Thank you for the info.
