Bokeh

Is a technique used in photography to make lights look blurry.
I tried it out on my Nikon.
To do it, you need some lights (like Christmas lights or a chandelier),
a camera,
and a black piece of paper.
On the black piece of paper, cut out a little design in the middle.
I chose a heart.
Next place the card over the lense of the camera.
Make sure your camera is on a manual setting to get the blurriness.
Take a picture of the light.
See your result and keep on trying.
Here are my failed attempts and an example of good bokeh.

Here's a nice example of Bokeh.


Attempt Numero Uno-Fail

Attempt Numero Dos- Fail. Too focused.

Attempt Numero Tres- Ok. Not too bad. Looks like a strawberry.

Numero Quatro- Not too bad. Kinda cool.

Numero Cinco- Eh. Better than others.
Well. At least I tried.
