    Forum Challenge No. 39: "Bokeh Christmas"

    Merry Bokeh Christmas:

    This is the time of year that the family gathers around the holiday decorations. Many pictures are taken to remind us of this gathering of family and friends. Therefore your mission my forum brothers & sisters, should you decide to accept it, is to create your best "Bokeh Portrait" around the holiday lights. "As always, should you or any of your forum team be caught, the Forum Administrators will disavow any knowledge of your actions.

    See http://www.digital-photography-schoo...nning-examples for examples

    As has been said before, I will not be going into depth with my judging but simply choosing 1st, 2nd and 3rd on the basis of how much I like the picture.

    Good luck

    Tom

    Great subject Tom. I have managed to read the instructions before they self destruct!

      Now I have to try and coerce someone into letting me snap them! I don't really want to be doing a self portrait :P

                      Not that pleased with this, struggled in low light to get the DOF right with the nifty fifty but thought I'd enter anyway.

                          Couldn't get to Wales this Xmas holiday, sadly, so had to be content with Grandson's Principality Building Society Welsh Red Dragon money box.



                          Dragon illuminated with LED torch against the usual Xmas tree lights.

                          Cheers, Chris.
