Photo Challenge, Day 20: Bokeh

So, before this challenge, I had no idea what bokeh meant, much less how to create it. It refers to an intentional blurring or gradation created in a photo. It took me a week to get it to the point where I felt comfortable finding the right subjects and taking the photo. This hydrant is near the train tracks near our house. Our car and the tracks are in the background; I saw the color of the hydrant and had to shoot it!

Love this shot...the perspective you took the shot from!

I found your blog through the 30 Day Challenge... I'm also participating! Can't wait to see the rest of your photos from the last few days!
