Have you noticed all the holiday photos that are gracing the web this holiday? There is some pretty amazing talent out there.
f1.8 @ 1/10 ISO 400 50mm on a tripod remote release
I new that I had to try my hand at getting a descent bokeh photo of something Christmas related. Should I one of my snowmen and try it with that? Nope not Christmas-y enough. I've got plenty of Santas from my Satan collention, that's a good Christmas themed item? Nope again.
This is what I settled on, one of my nativity sets. Simple but elegant, tells the real story for the season in just one piece.
Getting a good bokeh photo is a bit touchy. Got to have lots of distance and a large aperture (lens) open for good round blurred lights.
Next I think I will try putting a cutout on my lens and see what comes of that.
Enjoy and Happy Friday
I enjoy participating and joining in on following photo challenges. If you haven't visited any of them, you are in for a real treat and talents. Participating in a daily or weekly photo challenge helps keep you in the photo grove not to mention lots and lots of practice. Check these out.

Definitely the reason for the season, you captured it in it's full glory and that bokeh is beautiful!
Beautiful...Love the verse you added...its light and fresh. Love everything about it! Nicely done!
That's a lovely shot. I need to take some photos of our nativity set. I found it so hard to get a decent bokeh with my shot as I can only get down to f2.4 with my camera.
I was trying to get this exact same shot but yours turned out way better. Love this.
such a lovely shot. i love the colors.
I love Christmas bokeh. Thanks for linking up!
Nothing could be more topical for this time of year. Superb.

This is so beautiful, Barb! Perfect.
That is a great photo! Love the bokeh in the background (I'm a sucker for bokeh). And the statue itself...wow. A beautiful piece of artwork. All around wonderful photo!
