Soap bubble bokeh

End of October, just a few minutes before the sun disappeared behind some trees, I used the opportunity to capture a batch of dried grass that was covered in backlit bokehlicious dewdrops :)

 

As far as my understanding goes, out of focus highlights that feature a distinct (bright ?) rim are called "soap bubble" bokeh (due to resembling ...), and people seem to flock to it, but I'm not sure how rare it really is. I like it too though, not gonna lie.

 

Fast vintage glass appears to be most conducive to produce this sort of effect.
