Recently I visited the historic city of Winchester which was decked out with wonderful Christmas lights. Not surprisingly I couldn\u2019t resist grabbing a few shots, especially around the pretty little Christmas market.<\/p>\n

But I didn\u2019t just stick to the usual type of photos, I also shot some bokeh images that might come in handy as backgrounds or textures for other photos. You can download them here:

\"BOKEH-FF\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The shooting technique is simple enough. I used a wide open f\/2.8 aperture and manually focused to 20cm. I then pointed my camera at the Christmas lights and zoomed in or out to adjust the size of the bokeh circles.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve shared three of my favourite bokeh patterns in this Friday Freebie, I hope you find them useful.<\/p>\n
