@karenann You're so sweet Karenann. It's fairly easy. I just set the snowman up about 4-5 feet in front of my tree and when I focus on him, the lights in the background auto bokeh - easy!

Happy New Year! This is bokeh-licious! I did an ornament/bokeh shot last year, but this year, just not enough time at ALL around my house or my tree to do one. Maybe before I take it down, I'll do one and use it for a Christmas card next year. It is before 6 AM on Jan. 2 and I am up getting ready for the return to work. This stinks. :0( I want to go back to bed. Haha Fav on your bokeh!

Is this a cookie jar!? I love it... both the composition, and those beautiful lights in the background. You could turn this into a personalized greeting card... it's great :-)
