XMas Ornament (1649) Holiday Bokeh
Close up of a beautiful blue ornament with Christmas Lights in the background, creating a soft bokeh effect. This image was taken for the Macro Monday group as part of their Holiday Bokeh challenge.
The depth and clarity of the ornament was accomplished with an 8 image stack; the colored lights in the background were a small strand of battery operated "fairy lights" placed about 10 feet behind the ornament (in front of black poster board). The lighting on the ornament itself came from the right side, using a 2700K bulb reflected off a silver lined umbrella. Post processing was done in Adobe Light Room first then into Photoshop for stacking.
Comments and constructive feedback are always appreciated!
