Bokeh and You!

Recently I asked my fans what they wanted to see more of in my photographs - was it portraiture? Was it fashion? Was it landscape.. etc. One of my good friends suggested bokeh. Now, I've seen other photographer friends try bokeh before and I never really "got" it. So my immediate response to Jeff was: "sell me on it, and I'll give it a try." He proceeded to give me multiple links with examples, "best of" and even suggestions on how to create your own bokeh photograph. Needless to say, I was sold...and immediately started to play with my camera to see what I can come up with. It's a whole new world of possibilities - seriously! And now that I've opened my mind to this 'new' style, I am seeing it everywhere. For example, a co-worker of mine recently took this photo (don't hesitate to check out the rest of her photographs! She's amazing). The results are stunning.

Have you tried it before? Do you like it?  Check out Day 59 of my Three Sixty Five Photo project to see my results for that evening.
