Backyard Bokeh by lauriehiggins

Backyard Bokeh

My son chose this one. The boy who usually makes fun of my flower shots actually liked this one. Then again, my camera never left my yard today, so he didn't have tons to chose from.
He made a good choice! Great pic, lovely bokeh!

It is a great photo Laurie, and I like the soft focus.

Your son chose well. This is just spot-on with the focus, and nice bokeh.

Oh wow, this is so pretty! Love that giant bokeh too

@5unflow3r The composition of that bokeh is a bit off (too close to the flowers), but I kind of loved the Mickey Mouse shape of it. Sometimes the choice of photos is a private joke.

Gorgeous shot

Great job with this one. Your bokeh is really good. I like the MIcky Mouse shape you caught on accident. Very cool when something interesting is captured behind the shot without even trying.

@robinwarner Thank you once again for boosting me up! Please keep looking for Tarzan. Now my imagination has gone wild...did he go back home, did his parents have someone kidnap him to take him to an Outward Bound type program, or did he simply succumb to life in the streets and the evils of drugs...the writer in me really wants to know and now my imagination is on fire.

@yoshi It took me months to figure out how to achieve bokeh. It's about tightly focusing in on one thing, which makes the background blur. I'm certainly no expert, but I'm sure there are some great tips on this site. People here are wonderful about sharing their ideas and techniques.
