It’s been a long week with few photos. Perhaps when the drugs wear off, I’ll push the button more again.
PS: I am addicted to Christmas light bokeh.
If you love bokeh, too, here’s a fun flickr group: Bokeh Whores

The lights are really cool! It’s inspiring to the photographer in me to see the way you look at & notice little things like that.

You had a tough week, and have every right to take a break. The pictures you posted, though few, were exceptional.
I hope you guys can have a Merry Christmas and my best wishes of a happy, prosperous New Year for you and your family.

I had to look twice to see the shadow, it is indeed a nice surprise! I love the light pictures, my favourite is bokcircles.
Thanks for the link you added on the bokeh, I found some very interesting discussions through it. It’s always nice to know more and to learn.
Take good care of yourself, Lotus, make sure you get enough rest?

i love the wall picture where its all YELLOW. awesome. quick question for you. how are your BG 3.0s holding up? we took the plunge and got some 3.0 AIOS instead of the one size and just wondered how you’re doing with yours holding up and keeping dry and such.

#41 by Talina on December 22, 2008 - 6:01 PM

I had to go to the flicker group to find out what bokeh was, but it seems even the members of the group have a difference of an opinion. I think I have the idea though. Love the photos. Little J wants to turn the lights on first thing every morning.
