Post your Christmas (bokeh) lights pics!

the crookedness is because all i had available to use for a surface was a barstool. it was the only thing high enough. And for lighting I have no flash and the only light available was the light in the room which was on the side of the subject.

it's crooked. also, a little flash to make the lighting more interesting couldn't have hurt.

And the color temperature is decidedly cool...

 

[VoLcOmKiDd911]

yea all i had was the natural overcast light from outside

 

[Pugs]

Do you have any editing software that you could use to fix the rotation and the color temp?

 

[VoLcOmKiDd911]

yeah ill see what i can do

edit: hows this?

 

[Pugs]

Much better! It still looks a little cool, temperature-wise.

This is a quick edit that I did in Lightroom.

my worn out boots getting a little bokeh light love. I used a piece of paper with a cutout of a heart to acheive this. I'm going to make another template with a better cutout heart.

I guess this could count?
I tried taking a Bokeh photo of my neighbor's Christmas Lights, but ended up getting this wild and crazy effect.

I love it though. <3

@Lisa: Those are amazing!!!

Here is another one that I took on my Christmas Tree.

 

[Olympus E300]

Being a beginner, I really wanted to give this a try. Below is my first real attempt at bokeh. I intentionally worked around the christmas lights theme so I could post my results in this thread. I feel that the image could be sharper and I'm aware of the shadows (all I had for lighting were a couple of table lamps). Perhaps its a little under exposed? Not sure what to do with the over-powering redness of the Santa suit though? Please share your C&C...

Cheers!!
