Bokeh... An effect made by cutting a hole in a sheet of paper, like an artificial aperture in front of the lens? Noted for future reference! I'll definitely have to try it sometime. I never would've thought of something like that.

All kinds of fascinating shots in this thread!
Crossfire905,
I'm just reading this now, so if you've already figured it out... disregard this, I just wanted to correct you a bit.
Bokeh is a term that refers to when you have a narrow depth of field and one part of the image is in focus, but the rest is blurry... the blurry blobs are the bokeh... usually the background...
