A timely teddy bear message for Christmas in the US, cheerful greeting for holiday tidings! Lots of bokeh with the Christmas lights makes this a fun and glowing memory. See the previous image for more of the sign's message.
I've been pretty busy with school and finding a new job and everything lately so I haven't had time to upload. :/
I got a new lens and i'm really excited that I can now shoot this kind of bokeh.
Had a light shower of rain come over my house while the sun was still out so I decided to play around with bokeh for the first time in a while.
In photography, bokeh (Originally play /ˈboʊkɛ/,[1] play /ˈboʊkeɪ/ boh-kay, and also sometimes heard as play /ˈboʊkə/ boh-kə,[2] Japanese: [boke]) is the blur,[3][4] or the aesthetic quality of the blur,[5][6][7] in out-of-focus areas of an image, or "the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light."[8] Differences in lens aberrations and aperture shape cause some lens designs to blur the image in a way that is pleasing to the eye, while others produce blurring that is unpleasant or distracting—"good" and "bad" bokeh, respectively.[3] Bokeh occurs for parts of the scene that lie outside the depth of field. Photographers sometimes deliberately use a shallow focus technique to create images with prominent out-of-focus regions.
Bokeh is often most visible around small background highlights, such as specular reflections and light sources, which is why it is often associated with such areas.[3] However, bokeh is not limited to highlights; blur occurs in all out-of-focus regions of the image.
Shooting the sigma 18-35 wide open, at 35mm, and close to the minimum focus distance on the canon 100d/sl1 in aperture priority, but paying attention to shutter speed to capture the corrosion from the sea spray on this chain-link fence. I can't decide if I would like just a little more depth of field since only the very front of the fence is in sharp focus.

I photographed this male Duke of Burgundy (Hamearis lucina) early in the morning when dew was still on the grass. I lay low in the dew-soaked grass to get a low-angle against the sun. The dew drops blossomed into a bubbly bokeh which I thought produced a rather dream-like quality to the photograph.
This is a rare and declining butterfly so I should have been pleased with any shots of it. But I do enjoy finding new ways of photographing things.
Here is the second bokeh shot I got. I am in love with this one as well. I am very pelased with how the sun came out. Hope you enjoy them. SOOC.
