I was on the side of Mt. Tolmie, surrounded by tall grass, looking down at the pretty lights in the valley below. There were traffic lights, cars, the lights from stores and gas stations.

Sony NEX-7, 1/25s ISO200 50mm f/1.8

I set my wife's camera with it's lovely Leica f/2.8 lens on a tripod and positioned it so that the lights from traffic at an intersection below seemed to be shooting out from the lens... thus blowing some bubbles.

Note: I called that lens on her camera "lovely" but that piece of junk could not create bokeh at all. It didn't need to, it was just a prop.

No, the 'magic' came from my Sony NEX-7 with Nikon 50 mm f/1.8 lens attached by an adapter.

I hope you enjoy this photo which was created purely for the love of Bokeh. This photo is my entry for Qurator's Photo Quest | Bokeh
