How'd you do it, Julie? I tried Bokah this Christmas. I couldn't get a good focus on the item in the foreground while significantly blurring the background. I know to use Aperture Priority mode but beyond that I'm clueless. This is beautiful!
Thanks Michelle!Good to be back at it. Laurie, I actually shot this on manual I think with with my macro 100 mm lens but it could have been my 50 mm prime - doesn't matter. Set the apeture wide open - smallest number possible - the smaller the number the more the bokeh. Set focus to center/spot. Focus on the glass and hold that focus while you reframe the photo and click. Give it a try and let me know.
