The trick to turn your lights into a beautiful background bokeh pattern is to use a relatively wide aperture (small f stop). Position your subject a good distance in front of the lights. Using a telephoto lens, zoom in for a close-up of your subject, (focus on your subject), and you will create beautiful light balls.

Beautiful examples.
love the colour of the balls. I can do this with my DSL but I tried it with my new point and shoot but had difficulties even though I can choose the aperture and use the zoom lens. I can't work out how to use the manual focus so the camera keeps wanting to focus on the tree.
thank you Karen
