I have often wondered why grossly-out-of-focus light sources render as hexagons. Must have something to do with the crystalline structure of the glass material in photo lenses. I may have to Google this … with the promise to myself that I won't allow myself to be sucked into a *deep* rabbit hole!!
@rhoing LOL! I did research this a while back. I found out that some lens will give you octagonal bokeh. It has to do with the shutter. I can get hexagonal or round with my old digital. I think it was the more expensive cameras that render the octagonal.
@larrysphotos Thanks, Larry.
@maggiemae Thanks, Maggiemae. I set my aperture on 5.6 and focused on the leaves with the light in the background.
