Blurry shots taken while driving back from South Beach. I was intrigued by the shapes of light when the camera was just out of focus.
While they are still categorized as "Bokeh", they are just plain blurry.
Nevertheless, the shapes and hues were fascinating.

From Wiki:
Bokeh (derived from Japanese, a noun boke 暈け, meaning "blurred or fuzzy") is a photographic term referring to the appearance of out-of-focus areas in an image produced by a camera lens using a shallow depth of field. Different lens bokeh produces different aesthetic qualities in out-of-focus backgrounds, which are often used to reduce distractions and emphasize the primary subject.
Origin:
An example of the bokeh effect produced by a Canon 85mm prime f/1.8 lens.
Mike Johnston, former editor of Photo Techniques magazine, claims to have coined the bokeh spelling to suggest the correct pronunciation to English speakers, replacing the previous spelling boke that derived directly from the Japanese word for "fuzzy" and had been in use at least since 1996. It can be pronounced /ˈboʊke/ or /ˈboʊkə/ (boke-aay or boke-uh).
The term bokeh has appeared in photography books at least since 2000.

Aquatica!
We finally got got our Aquatica A300 Housing for our Nikon D300 cam... For the moment we are using Sea & Sea YS-110 TTL Strobes. Some of the pics were taken with a Nikon D40 and some were taken by a Nikon D300 [I took it out from the housing]. There are some other components on back-order - and some things that we will need to get, but those are things you don't find out until you purchase...
As we go along we will learn...we will grow... and hopefully we will earn, ha...
I am very excited to try this all out as you can imagine!
