Holiday Bokeh!

I wish I had the talent to do something like this on my own. I had some help with these shots.

Seriously ....very cool indeed!!!

@jojo2009 Thanks, Joseph. I wish I had some highly technical explanation for you but we have some paper glasses that do this when you look through them. I just put them up to the camera lens and took a shot .

@ruthmouch Thank you, Ruth. I am so glad you like it!

Very cool... and very creative to use the glasses! I took some pictures through sunglasses on our "moving trip" but had so many photos for the day I ended up not using them... they gave everything a pinkish tinge.

I've tried sunglasses for really bright sunlight..turned ok I though...love your experiment...very pretty and christmassy.

I am going to have to learn how to do this. Great collage

@marilyn Thanks, Sissy. I wanted them to turn out a little clearer but I am OK with these.

[katy]

@bruni Yours is cool, Bruni! Thanks for the kind words.

[Marilyn Wigen]

@grammyn That's the cool thing about bokeh... blur is good!

[katy]

@peterdegraaff Thanks, Peter, all I did was point the camera through the glasses. Easy!

[katy]

@marilyn ;.} love you!

[Debbie Orlando]

I bought those glasses for our family to wear on Christmas!!! We get kinda nutty so they fill the bill. I wondered about putting them on the camera...now I know!

[katy]

@debsphotos ;.} Your family sounds a lot like mine! Can't wait to see yours!

[Debbie Orlando]

(shhh...don't tell...but I bought some kids musical instruments and my Granddaughter will play her actual clarinet. We're going to have a Christmas band...with the glasses on!

[katy]

@debsphotos Oh! I am so looking forward to THOSE photos!

[Brenda]

Aaah! FUN!!

[katy]

@thesandbox5 Thanks. I was looking for something a little out of the ordinary.

[Anna]

So festive and fairy-like!

@nyusha Thanks, Anna. Not nearly as nice as the one you just posted or as difficult to accomplish.
