Bokeh shots

Inspired by all the recent bokeh shots, especially from Chris, I thought I will start a thread for all to share their pictures.

I dug out my >10yrs camera for this shot...hope this qualifies

Not low light friendly, no problem.
You can use a tripod or rest the cam on a sturdy base.
Manual focus and use self-timer to avoid camera shake.
Happy shooting bro

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?

use low aperture settings (a low f), cameras with larger sensors have more bokeh effect. also, zooming in as much as possible (only if it is optical, not digital zoom) helps create more bokeh.

Great shot is not just about bokeh. Think about composition and lighting.

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
