Another forced perspective shot for the 52 week challenge. I've tried this before but I can never get my bokeh dots as plump as I'd like them, I think I need to put more distance between the cup and the lights...

It looks good but I think I understand what you're looking for in the bokeh. If the distance don't do it, maybe a larger aperture and not a wide angle focal length will do it?
Great idea ... are the lights in front or behind the cup? Challenging to do -- instinctively want to go for a wide aperture, but would be hard to get the right amount of focus on cup v. blur on the lights.
@scotthouston The lights are behind, about 3 metres, which is all I had space for without having to set up dark backdrops etc in another room. The idea is to get them as far back as possible, wide aperture was keeping everything too much in focus... I'll try it again with more prep at some stage.
