Seeing Spots_DSC8659

It was too hot to be out with my camera, so I had a play with alfoil bokeh.
Note to self - wash ornaments to remove dust, BEFORE you start to photograph them. It will save a lot of time.
Better on black if you have the time.

So cute and I love the bokeh.

A real cutie with his pretty flowers. If I may ask Merrelyn, how does one create bokeh with alufoil?

[Ulrika]

Too cute!

[Merrelyn]

@ludwigsdiana I crumpled the foil a little, then folded the edges over a piece of card and placed it in the sunlight shining through the window. The bear was about 40cms away from the foil.

This little bear is cute as can be! Love the bokeh! Thanks so much for the information on the foil bokeh! I've never tried it but have always admired the results. :-)
