Manual Focus

Traditional Digital Photography

1 sec f/5.6 ISO-11 55mm

20.05X10.01 inches

 

So I took this photo that accentuates Bokeh. The editing is very minimal, I just tried to make the colors, especially the orange, pop out.

 

My idea for the message of this photo arose from how I took it. In order to get large balls of colorful light, I had to purposefully make the photo out of focus. Naturally, when I made it go out of focus, the picture also lost the clarity of the buildings, water, and lights that are within it. It seemed to me like that was more of a universal truth than one that just applied to night-photography, so I decided to use this photo as my way of sharing my own thought.
