Last Portrait of 2013

Wow, 2013 is over! Still no snow here in Poland, but there are plenty of tiny white lights that make a great portrait background. See you next year!

Danboard and the Bokeh Dream

Danboard is pretty great on his own, but put him in front of a wall of small, out of focus lights and something special happens.

The beautiful, out of focus background is called bokeh. Bokeh has been defined as "the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light". Using a wide open aperture (small number) increases this effect.
