why yes, yes it is if thats what you were going for then congrats you succeeded. however something seems strange with the foreground.

 

[robb01]

It's a boring shot, granted I was just playing around to get this bokeh effect.

 

[er111a]

well in that case good work

 

[flyingember]

what's your subject?

the boring chair and garland or the bokeh?

it may have worked better if you had picked one or the other

 

[Geaux]

Yeah, the flash off the chair isn't working for me lol.


Why hexagonal bokeh? Can't read your exif data, what was your aperture set at? Was it 100% wide open?

It's bokeh, but not necessarily pleasing bokeh because of the hexagonal shape.

The polygonal shape is a function of the number and shape of the lens aperture blades in the lens that was used.

Not all of the EXIF data survived the run through CS2.

Hah, I knew that much ... hence my following questions.

hexagons don't have seven sizes.

Bokeh is great, foreground sucks...but I don't think you were trying to do anything other than getting good bokeh so if that was your hope-good job.

hexagons come in all sizes but they have six sides if thats what you meant.
