@skipperliviu I don't focus on buying new gear, but rather generating new ideas. I'm totally content with upgrading my equipment progressively as I see fit, and not spending thousands of dollars prematurely. You are totally right though, a full frame DSLR with an 85mm f1.4 or a 200mm f2.8 lens on it would produce a higher quality, more dramatic look.

@kingkwaan That was a Christmas tree about 10 feet behind the jar. I might have used the burn tool in photoshop to get it completely black but I can't remember.

One need not shoot at F1.8 or F1.4 for Bokeh, as this gives extreme bokeh. Even at F2.8, F3.5, one can get it. Bokeh depends upon the focus length of the lens (longer is better), F Stop (more open is better), distance to subject (closer is better) and distance of background (further is better). Also the number of the blades of aperture diaphragm (7 or more is more creamy, less blades > starry). From an amateur shooter..... most important is what is being achieved, the concept, the frame filling.

can i use lens sigma 30mm f1.4 for this ?

@herry870 It won't be as good as a 50+mm, but it should still get the job done. Test the lens if you are thinking about buying it. Also remember to get as close to your subject as possible to enhance the effect
