I did something similar to what Dan did awhile back. I failed miserably. I found it to complicated if not using a solid shape. Since I have a BMW, I tried the logo. Those are candles in the background. The star version looks much better. Great job Dan!

i guess this has become a multi-purpose thread, then.... the contest, arguments about bokeh, thinking out loud about the D3, and the coming out of mr. technoviking...
only wndrlst could start a thread like that....

Leaving You
ok so I tried the one I shot this week but it didn't come out as planned.
I'm gonna use this older one that I took for my buddies CD. It ended up being the rear cover for the album.
hope y'all like it

Creepy guy in the mirror.
A Treat For The Days End
I loved this topic - just couldnt get outside to challenge myself, with the snow outside, lights, etc. there were just so many opportunities. Oh well.

^^^ I THINK you're in luck dawg - your camera has manual aperture setting. here's how you do it:

I don't know how low it goes but see where it says F3.2 - set that number as low as you can. And then you should be able to get some of this delicious bokeh. Try it out!
oh this is from the operating manual PDF:

You're probably going to need a tripod to get a good shot
