I always thought bokeh refered to the "balls of light" moreso than just OOF areas.

Irregardless, great photos everyone!

Bokeh is not just balls of light, it's OOF background quality in general (including nice balls of light).

Anyway, let's add some motion images too!

NEX-5N with Leitz Summilux-R 50mm f/1.4 (or maybe it was the Elmarit-R 90mm f/2.8, I'm not sure)

Normally, when I shoot macro/close-up shots, I go for more DOF, but in this case, I really like the shallow DOF and insane blur.

I suppose this isn't bad for the "crappy" 60D and the EF-S 60mm macro :
