Description

f/ 2.8, 1/125 sec., ISO-200, 10:23 PM, Philadelphia, PA. This was an experiment for Bokeh in which the background blur is supposed to complement the subject. I set a cut crystal vase in front of 3 strands of small multicolored decorative lights about a foot behind the subject. Shot with my Sigma 50mm F2.8 Macro lens in the ambient light of the decorative lights alone.
