Well, I thought we might have been on to something with the shutter speed - I have an example below - I can tell you that the longer the shutter was open, the less pronounced any of the butterfly effect became - the lights just got more blown out. I think I'll have to find another use for these pretty lights...
Thanks for the suggestion, Wulf. I'll keep working on it...but, if anything happens to hit you while you're tossing and turning and unable to sleep thinking about my bokeh problem, I'd love to hear your ideas!
Thanks, again! This is been frustrating but fun! I'm still planning on getting a capture outdoors while "accidentally" leaving my butterfly bokeh thing-a-ma-jig on the lens like you did - hopefully, I'll get something as dreamy as yours!
