Week 49 good to WOW {SOOC}

GoodtoWow2

Welcome back everyone! Thanks again for joining us. The next four weeks of themes/prompts are at the bottom of my blog.  

This week our theme/prompt is Christmas Lights Bokeh
There are so many amazing bokeh lights tutorials out there – here is one of my favs!

It would have been a good idea to do the tips from the tutorial first, but I have been taking care of sick children and myself.  I didn’t have the energy to do anything extra or crafty.  But I will be doing the snowflakes this week and sharing how it turned out. 

Until then, here are a few of my favorite bokeh shots from this weekend Smile

This month I will be giving away a few cute camera gifts to our winner!   Be sure to enter your best SOOC shots into our good to WOW SOOC group.  

Now let me see all of your stunning SOOC bokeh shots – I’m sure you were all way more creative than me Open-mouthed smile

I love that first one you shared! The tree bokeh is pretty and having her look back at it is different. :)

What a great tutorial! I didn't even think about being creative like that, I just went to my favorite house covered in lights and set up my tripod in the street! I think I may have to find some construction paper and try the shapes! Thanks for sharing!

Good morning!
I’ve included your site on a page I’ve put together devoted to hops, challenges, and memes for every day of the week! The link to that page is under my header. http://acts17verse28.blogspot.com/

I love photographing bokeh! I've really been enjoying this holiday season and have been getting lots of use out of my tripod. :)

Hope you are all feeling better soon!

I would love to comment on your beautiful photos, but I was blinded by the SCRUMPTIOUS baby in your new slideshow and now I have turned to a pile of goo right here in my chair. EEEEKKKK!!! I haven't seen that picture and it's sooo Christmas-y!

LOVE the new pics for the slideshow, and i love how you have your pic on the top right above. I really like to see the face behind the blog, and I think it's perfect for your business. Lookin' good!! :-)

Thank you for the tutorial Jill, so helpful for me as I was shooting bokeh for the first time. I love the softness of your shots. Thank you for sharing!
