Hope everyone is well. Lets see... I met with a retired mentor of mine this week for lunch. He has been into photography for a while. After talking to him and seeing his work I am even more inspired.
Today I experimented with getting Bokeh effects... basically artistic blur. In that effort, I broke out some x-mas lights. You can see the results below. The Bokeh effect came out a little stronger than I would of liked, but over all I am pleased with the results. Here were my settings for those who are interested. Manual setting...120mm...f/5.6...1/8sec.
I was trying to make the Bokeh light effect to look like it was raining/pouring into the glass. I think I accomplished that...
Oh...by the way I ordered (thanks my love for the gift) my first Prime lens...Nikon 35mm f/1.8G AF-S. Since I have a DX or compact DSLR, this will get me to about 50mm of a full frame DSLR. Very excited.
