| The first step to capturing bokeh is choosing a lens that will offer you the capability of blurring out the backgrounds I used my 35mm, but you can still get similar effects without one. Set your f-stop to it's lowest possible setting. Usually f/1.4 works great. Set your aperture as low (wide) as possible, pick a focus point, and ooooohhhhh ahhhhhhhh - BOKEH! |

An important part of getting those Christmas lights to look great is you have to seperate your subject a considerable distance from the light source. The further away the subject the bigger the lights become...but be carefull not to move too far away...about 6 feet is all you need for a shooting with a lens at 1.8.
