Next Shot Week 12 ~ Bokeh Effect


Thanks Joanne For giving us a chance to produce some beautiful Photos for the group Next Shot.

The Bokeh effect is this week's theme.





"the "Bokeh" effect. Simply put, a photo that has a Bokeh effect has a soft, blurred background, while the intended subject of the photo is sharp and in focus. The subject of the photo can be anything - a person or a thing, usually shot as a close-up or a macro."

It was easy for me to find my subjects for this theme.
All I had to do was wander around the garden this morning.

Starting with these stunning Chrysanthemums.







Dog's Bane



Red Petunias


Salvia

  1. I was wanting to see your 'offerings' but I can only view the Salvia, for some strange reason the first three are 'unavailable'?

  5. All so incredibly beautiful, Milli. My fav is the last - the Salvia. I love the water drops teetering on the edge of the petals. Great examples of bokeh :-)

    Your shots are great examples of Bokeh.
