day twenty-nine: BOKEH

Remember the photography challenge?  Well, I have to finish up because I'm going to start another challenge tomorrow.

Ugh - today's challenge is called;

BOKEH

After looking it up, I realized I was in a bit of trouble.

Bokeh basically involves composing a deliberate blurriness (in a way)  - you know those photos that have a focus point that is crisp and sharp, and then everything else around it kind of blurs together in the background?    Some people even use special lenses to break up light into dots.  Occasionally people will create heart shaped or star shaped lenses to break the light up into tiny, pretty shapes.

Pretty cool.
Pretty impossible with my point and shoot.
Shoot.

I gave it a go anyway!  And here's what I came up with:

Not great, but I kind of did it.  This was hard.  I think I could do better with a little more practice.

It's been fun to learn a little more about my camera.


ONE more to go, and then I can start the new challenge!
