The Knock-Out Punch / Bokeh / Photo5

[candleman]

I recently etered an Australasian (Oz and NZ) photography competition.

the brief for this shot was "create bokeh using the supplied hood, and place something interesting in the foreground"
so i came up with this.. the stars that flash around a cartoon characters head when knocked out.
this was all in camera.. all i changed was the number of bokeh stars and their colour.


one exposure..

Hi Jared ... you outdid yourself ... did you win? ... very creative

[equilution]

Very cool, Jared! I can totally see this as a cartoon. You did a great job turning an animated cartoon into a real-life shot! Thanks for sharing.
