i heart my tree



 Project 365 Day 3 - 1/3/11

Can you tell what this is a picture of?  If you guessed my Christmas Tree you are totally correct!  This effect is called "bokeh" (a Japanese term for blur). 

I saw this cool photo project on a Facebook fan page and had to try it before we took our tree down.  (It works best with lots of lights like on a Christmas tree.)  I was pretty proud of my results!  Try it for yourself or check out how I did it at this website: http://www.diyphotography.net/diy_create_your_own_bokeh
