Playing with Bokeh

Salford, 23rd March 2016

I’ve been busy in BASICs photography class today – practising the art of Bokeh.

Bokeh’s where you throw your light source out of focus on your camera to create an effect.

A Coffee Cup of Stars – Created in BASICs Photography Session

This picture was taken with my Samsung WB-250F.
