52 Clicks | Week 50 | Bokeh

Every December in our Project 52 we do a bokeh theme. It's such a perfect time of year with all the festive lights, adding that magical touch to your holiday images. Although the majority of us created Christmasy images, other p52 participants instead focused on using that dreamy and creamy bokeh background in their images. 

With the year winding down, you might be focusing ahead to the new year and deciding what sort of creative endeavors to partake in. If a Project 52 is on your radar, we'd love to have you in our group. Sign up now to join us in 2026!
