Fluidr / Wild Colors of Nature by Proleshi

Definitely VIEW THIS LARGE on Black | Full Stream on Black

From a distance, maybe just another flower photo, but I really think the wild colors and crazy bokeh is worth sharing.... seriously check out the party that's happening on the right half of the photo! Also, shows that you don't need a fast lens to get some crazy bokeh. Shot this with the 18-55mm VR kit lens at f/5.6 at 55mm focal length.

Tip: If you want to get good bokeh with a cheap lens like this, I've found it best to go at the longest focal length possible (instead of its widest aperture-- f/3.5 at 18mm), while getting very close to what you want in focus, and slightly underexpose (for a bright sunlight shot like this).
