Put your lights on, sinners.

Those little lights wont be here for long (just a few more weeks at most) so had to make sure I catch some more of the bokeh effect they give. Moving them a bit further to the back and making sure you keep the lens wide open (1.8 in this case) will give you those big, delicious bubbles.

I picked up a few candles and stuck them in those giant wine glasses I use as candle holders (I swear this is not my usual wine glass). They reflect the light nicely too.
All the bubbles behind come from the little Christmas lights.

Candle wasn't enough so I picked up some random stuff and played with them a little bit too.
Cause why not.

My main goal was still to catch the bokeh.
I just don't have enough of it.

Cheated bonus song for today:
Santana - Put Your Lights On ft. Everlast
year 1999

The original video for this song is actually quite colorful. But since we are into stripping... from colours here ;), it has to be this simplified one.

Dude i knew it is a vintage lens from the bokeh i said " it's definitely a vintage lens " then it's pentacon، i was about to buy one same version. Clean shoots and wonderful bokeh it did well in low light conditions nice

Haha yea those old ones know what they are doing. If you have a chance - get it! It is a really nice one and colours are great too.

Yeah I'll make sure to find one soon and taste that sweet bokeh

Miss isn't impressed tho. 😂

Nop... there was no food involved so.. ;)

The reflection is good and I think it matches black and white better than colored light..

Thank you! I like the black and white version too :)

You really work magic with your camera. I don't know anything about photography, but I'm glad to know the broken effect.

Bathed in light... Steady
