Elvis and his Bouquet of Bokeh
Here's Elvis sitting on an internally lit traffic bollard on Des Voeux Road Central in Hong Kong. When the 50mm Summilux-M is wide open & bokeh balls are perfect circles, it's hard to make out the background. So I stopped down a little, hence the polygonal edges to the bokeh of lights.
It's not obvious what this is, but if you live in Hong Kong, you'd know it's an iconic street tram approaching on the left (see the tracks embedded into the road surface?) The big white ball of light is the headlamp.
I would have loved to have a longer exposure to get light trails but buses and trams are so heavy that they'd shake the road and I'd lose the pin-sharp focus. FYI, I had a small LED light shining on the front of the mic to help pop, and in Lightroom, I dialed down the vibrancy & saturation for a more life-like look.
