Justin Bieber bokeh


What do you get when you combine my job and my hobby? Lots of bokeh from the Justin Bieber gig of course.

I was lucky enough to get to go see Justin Bieber perform in The O2 last night (and even got to meet the coolest ten-year old in the world, aka Willow Smith. No sign of her dad sadly).

Although we got pretty amazing seats, I only had my 50mm 1.4, so spent most of my time shooting the bokeh created by thousands of lights. Couple of shots below.

  1. How do you get such amazing Bokeh shots? I would love you to teach me!

    1. It’s mainly the powers of my beauts little 50mm 1.4 lens! But perhaps we should make some sort of night time photo walk happen so we can all get or bokeh on…

  2. I’m blissfully ignorant of the whole bieber thing but i can appreciate a bit of bokeh anyday 🙂

    1. Thanks Julie! As you can see, I was more enthralled by the fuzzy light circles than the all-singing all-dancing seventeen-year old on stage 🙂

  3. great artistic photos! very original.

    1. Thanks a mill! I was too far to get decent shots of Mr Bieber, had to work with what I had 🙂

    2. Thanks so much! Didn’t have a long lens and wasn’t close enough to get good shots of the man himself. Necessity is the mother of invention they say.

  4. Your pictures are amazing ! <3

    1. Thanks a mill Margaret 🙂
