BOKEH

In case you know nothing about photography, "bokeh" is a japanese word that means the blur in out of focus areas in an image. Here are some examples:
I found this photo on a tumblr, but just found out that it was taken by Jacqueline, click HERE to see her photos! They're amazing!


All those little blurry circles in these photos are an example of bokeh. I love how it looks, so I tried to take a few of my own bokeh shots. Heres how they turned out :








I hope to be taking some more photos soon, so theres more to come!

How was your weekend?

Your Bokeh photos look like Jewelry!!! I love that! And yes, I love Bokeh. Have you ever tried putting a shape over your lens? You'll get bokeh the shape of... that shape! Like if you cut out a star from a piece of paper, then put that over your lens, you'll get star bokeh!
