Flower Blowing Bubbles by taffy

Flower Blowing Bubbles

I was excited that CSC-30 is focusing on capturing bokeh naturally. In the past, the bokeh in the form of the circles of light has usually been a pleasant surprise but with the challenge, today I sought opportunity to create an image with the bokeh as part of the plan. I shot this into the sun, taking a few different shots by angling the lens to create different patterns of bokeh. I like the spray of bubbles that the lights make coming off the flower. It was interesting to me to see how the angle of the lens changed the bokeh.
Beautiful bokeh

This is delicate and lovely. I like the soft minimal contrasts.

What a wonderful result! Love the big bold bokeh circles here! Really pretty! It has always been a happy accident for me, too. What a great challenge to strive for this look intentionally.

Quite stunning, and yet so delicate.

Very nice! Doesn't changing the angle of the lens change the light coming into it?

this is very cool

Wonderful shot. Love the angle.

Beautiful bokeh, it's very fascinating how the angle and aperture affects the bokeh and it's shape. I find it easiest to create bokeh with f 1.8

Fabulous bokeh! Mine is usually accidental! I must have a go at doing it intentionally!

it's bokelicious! Love it! I was so sad I was out of town and not posting during the challenge as I love bokeh. Even have a tag called "disco bokeh" -- this is lovely with the tones too.
