How can I create amazing bokeh for my photography? (Picture Included)?
Okay, so I don't want to rant, but I'll just start off by saying that I own a Canon PowerShot SX10 IS.
It's an amazing camera, but I'm not able to attach any lens extensions, which means I can't attach a bokeh lens to it.
I came across this photo on deviantart of some grass, with a REALLY strong bokeh effect to it. It's absolutely breathtaking and I only wish I could get a good bokeh effect like that.
Here's the photo:

So my question is, is there any possible way to get that strong bokeh effect with the camera I have?
I've tried making my own "paper lens" for bokeh, but that really didn't work for me.
Any tips from photographers would be absolutely wonderful.
Thank you in advance.
Bokeh is the out of focus area behind the focused subject, usually a person.
Bokeh is totally the result of lens design and choosing a large aperture to provide selective focus.
P&S cameras rarely can produce very much out of focus area behind the subject 1) because the user has very little control of the aperture of the lens and 2) because the sensor is so small. The larger the sensor, the better the chance of producing good "Bokeh"

As you will learn reading these two links, P&S cameras are dismal at shooting selective focus and thus produce mediocre Bokeh. If you really really want good out of focus backgrounds, you are going to 1) have to buy a fully adjustable camera and medium telephoto lens and 2) test a whole bunch of lenses that fit your camera.
