On The Fourth Day Of Christmas... _DSC8338

my true love sent to me, four calling birds........This beautiful Wedgwood bauble was given to me by very dear friend. I have tried several times to photograph it on the tree and this is the best I have managed. I was hoping for more light bokeh, but I couldn't get it right. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated :) Thank you all for getting Red, Red Rose to PP :))

Im no expert on bokeh but have a go with the fastest lens that you have and set the lowest Aperture that you can.

@gijsje Thanks Bep, my tree is decorated with blue, white and silver, so my friend has given me several Wedgwood ornaments over the years.

@pyrrhula Thanks Ferry (I hope I have your name right). I am lucky to have such a kind and generous friend.
Our four weeks spent traveling around Holland and Belgium was definitely not long enough :)
