Here's a video I shot using a tree-shaped bokeh filter on my Sony RX10 camera. While a passenger in a car. On the beltway. It is fun how many colors different headlights have.
The Sony Rx10 camera was shot in manual mode using an equivalent focal length of 600mm; f 4.0; ISO 800; and exposure times 1/100 s (too bright), 1/250 s, and 1/320 s. Focusing was also in manual mode, where I defocus the headlights the amount needed to make the size of bokeh I wanted.
There is a collection of small items atop a security boulder in the NIH’s perimeter. The boulder rests at a pedestrian entrance, blocking the entrance of hostile vehicles. I call the collection a shrine, perhaps a shrine to those lost to Covid, but I don’t know the originator’s purpose. It has been present during most of Covid. It changes in occasional bursts, with items being removed and new ones appearing. In the meantime, the objects are periodically rearranged. In this photo, the strings of beads appeared just before Mardi Gras.
