When the lights go down, the masks come out. Come celebrate the Bokeh Masquerade with us!
Here is my entry into Steemit Photo Challenge. The theme for this week's contest is "Bokeh".
Bokeh is the effect caused by the internal working of a camera's lens when it attempts to render out-of-focus lights or highlights from objects outside the set depth of field. Opening your camera's aperture, lowering the f-stop value, will increase this effect by allowing only a short distance (depth of field) to be in focus, everything in front or behind this distance will render out-of-focus.
Color shifted to Red in Photoshop, no other edits.

These photos were taken with my Nikon 5300 using a 50mm f1.8 lens at a distance of about 24" from the setup. Camera settings were ISO 200 and aperture wide open at f1.8. You can see in the photos, the focal range was very short, only about 2" behind the mask and the wine glasses already go out of focus. The blue mini LED lights were loosely arranged about 24" behind the set up.
