Bokeh Balls by darylo

Bokeh Balls

But, the work to get this was soooooo labor intensive because my lens exposed about 40 plus spots (and some snake-like lines) that I needed to heal. I'm going to post the two side by side in discussions because I'm afraid I have a sensor problem...

I'm in love with this shot, though--I'll admit it. It's been on my bucket list for over a year. When my mother-in-law fell ill a year ago (she died 30 minutes before Xmas in Mexico), my project took the logical turn to "just get it done."

Want to see the original against this one just to see ALL THE DOTS? Go here or check out the discussion I'll start called "Bokeh, We Have a Problem." :

Wonderful Daryl, fabulous idea, amazing colours and stunning result.
I looked at the other post first, and all I can say is this was worth all the hard work editing away the spots. Fav.

Great bokeh! You obviously did a lot of work to clear up your dots. I hope you have a quick and easy resolution to your problem!

@markp The spots are worrisome--I am scheduled to have a sensor cleaning at the first photo club meeting of 2015, but YUCK! Thanks for the fav Mark. I looooved your bike shot the other day. Was scrolling too quickly to leave a comment. Ugh, time...

Great texture inside each of the orbs! Sorry about the schmutz on your image... Great job cleaning it up !!

Nice

This looks awesome. I'm guessing at a dirty sensor, as I've had one, and it was such a pain to 'clean' all the photos.
December 18th, 2014  
Love it! So cool :)
December 18th, 2014  
Wow awesome bokeh Daryl!!
December 18th, 2014  
Magical!

Ok, so I can't say anything sensible about your sensor... but I really love your bokeh in this shot. Just beautiful. So worth it. Good for you!
