Absolutely gorgeous shots and spectacular bokeh 🔥🏆🏆🏆🔥


I'm a little behind in responding. I haven't been getting emails from the Challenge for some reason so I finally went in on my own. Anyway, Joe, thanks so much.

Sometimes I get it peeking behind a tree trunk or through leaves, or a crack. Yes, the settings are different in that you are using a very narrow aperture (tight).If you have it, try setting camera to "Aperture priority mode" and the camera will pick the remaining settings. It will give you an idea of where to start. I have to use a tripod because some of the exposures are long (like maybe 1 sec instead of a fraction of a second) I use either a remote trigger or set the camera on a timer to make sure I don't shake the camera. It's better, I find, to underexpose the shot and then bring it up if need be when I edit. You'll get it!

I've taken a little time here and there to experiment. I'm not keen on the pictures themselves with the starbursts but I got some.

I'll have to try the auto Aperture mode as well. I am learning AND because of the this Challenge, I'll be looking at things a bit differently and thinking of possibilities that I wouldn't have otherwise.

I've got the teapot ready. Come - slog through the rain and wind - 2 PM my place. Power is flickering. Quick post and will see you whenever.


P. 32 This kind of bokeh is festive, looks a bit like bubbles, and so much fun.

Here comes Friday, and I finally found out that my archives contained a starburst. I guess I didn't concentrate on that technique (so far, anyway).


P. 33 Really like the winder scenes.

Thursday - many of you are in the middle of a blizzard. We expect heavy rain coming in tonight with very high winds corresponding with astronomical high tide - not a good combination. Power outages are a given. It has changed some of our plans which means I need to leave the computer and tackle a storm and Christmas list. Starbursts for this morning...


Pat well done
