Morning Olga, I used a white background (white sheet) and a white strand of Christmas lites (white cord too) sat the box on a table, moved it about 8' feet away from the wall. Positioned box just right so it looked like the lights were coming out of the box. The camera was close to box with a f2.8 zoomed all the way out. You may have to go to manual focus if you have trouble focusing it.
Pam,
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty! Wonder how you got this effect?

DeleteWOW! Thank you, Pam. Really neat!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! Nice use of bokeh. (And thanks for sharing your technique!)
ReplyDeleteI think it's time to remove "wannabe" from your introduction.
ReplyDeletethanks Matt your too kind, kinda of missed the mark on last nights valentine shoot. Getting the lighting right is HARD. :)
