this photo would have been reali good if there was more depth of field, lowered the angle just a little bit, and took a step back

nothing fancy about these photos, but its just a good example of how much of a difference a good flash makes

first photo is with my stock flash on my nikon d50

Nice one Joelz. Would you mind saying what lens and aperture setting you used? The background blur is fairly seamless without the "pentagon" blur.

Thanks, I'm using the NIKKOR 18-105mm kit lens - nothing too special yet, apeture was at f/5.6

Apparently my camera includes a boat load of exif info when you upload to flickr, here's the "more info" page: http://www.flickr.com/photos/joelzimmer/3002067258/meta/ (if you are interested)

don't lights blur into the shape of your aperture? IE pentagon blur w/ five bladed iris or hexagon with 6 or whatever?

I'd like to know myself if anyone can c/d

Generally speaking yes, but if the aperture has rounded blades like the nikkor 18-105 VR does, then the bokeh (quality of the out of focus areas) will be rounded also.

What I think braidkid was struck with, as am I, is the quality of the bokeh--how the two bright spots are neutral (even in intensity without a distinct outline around the circle) and how the other spots blend so well into the background with a gaussian distribution (brighter in the middle and dissapating exponentially towards the edge of the circle. Also surprising is that at that relatively small aperature, the bokeh was that good, especially with a lens that has VR
