Flowers with Christmas bokeh

Wifes birthday was today so I got us some flowers. For her to look at and me to photograph.

Very nice, now frame them and she will have them forever.

Those look nice!
Happy birthday to her.

 

[Lazy Photographer]

Very cool. Both are nice but between the two I'd pick the second.

 

[ajkramer87]

Thanks everyone. The second is by far my favorite too.

Nice job! I would love to figure out how to do that myself!

9 blades!

Did you know you can cut shapes in a piece of paper and put it in front of your lens as a make-shift lens cap to create shaped bokeh? Would have been pretty cool in the examples you've shown (heart shape comes to mind).

Thanks for that link. Do you know how big you have to make the shape? I might try this out tonight
