Bokeh shots

Mine is just a simple shot with thin dof

Your shots definitely have more effort in it. Are those round balls usually water droplets with light shining through ?

The hp was rested by the side of the water beads, you can actually see the bright spot at the top part of the picture shining the water beads and the side of my hand.

For my shot, the lights came from the neighbouring block's corridors ...

Chris, all these are your shots? WOW! They're really nice!!

Given that there are so many experts here, can anyone enlighten this newbie here how to make great shots?

I only have a simple digital camera and do not have much knowledge on photography. Can anyone share what are some of the basic items and information I need to make great shots?

Hi
Like what Grumpy said, composition and lighting play a big part.
And like what Ivan said practice and practice.
My composition skill has improved ever since I joined this forum
Here are some ideas for you.

Put it the jeans pocket


Take lume shot


Use flowers


Do a product shot (notice no shadows, higher difficulty)


Play with water

Yes and thanks bro.

I have a recommendation for bokeh location. When you next visit the Helix bridge make sure to get some bokeh shots there.

One thing though, use your hp or whatever light source you can find to light up your watch/subject. Here are a couple of samples.
