Thanks for sharing - awesome pics. The Swedish Bokeh pic is beautiful; stunning colours. Tusind tak dude.

Thanks! That pic is taken with an old 50/1.7 but really, most cheap 50mm will pull it off in a similar fashion.

Thanks so much for this! Will see how I go.

And please post how it goes!

Hope to see some good results, but you can ask if you are struggling, as well

Sure thing, this is what I ended up with. The light placement isn't perfect, and I could've done more in PP, but for what I'm using it for (a low res web background) it's perfect. Thanks again!
