A friend of mine told me about his bokeh experiments. I was thrilled to hear how he'd done it: just cut a piece of paper and attach it to the lens to make the bokeh a different shape. I'm so going to try this one day soon.
Perhaps it was this that inspired me to try nocturnal bokeh photography. I was walking in the harbor and decided to try another point of view. I often try to take photos of cool night lights but then fail at it because a) I don't have my tripod with me, b) I'm too far from the object, c) the photo just turns out extrelemy boring.
So this time I decided to make the lights the main subject in the photo and play with composition more, instead of trying to make the photo look just the way it is in real life. And I like what I got!
I'm not saying these are of great art or skill but I'm inspired by this new idea. I like it how you can just focus on the lights and their colors and on getting a nice composition instead of trying to get everything to look just as it is.
And another friend of mine gave me a huge bag of old, unused films, for free. The best befores have already passed some years ago so she and her husband thought they won't use them. I'm going to try bokeh things with them! Let's see what happens. I couldn't be more excited about this now.
