Let's turn the aperture around! ;)

By setting 'f', or aperture to it's minimum, so much blur takes in, that the blurred particles split apart.

Either you can AF to something very close to the camera, or don't AF at all for bokeh.

For more affect, you can use the 'Miniature' filter, which drastically blurs the outer edges of the photo.

Here is one example:

Really liked the photos!
If you need more refrencing, you can just browse and look at IRL bokeh photos ;)

The most noticeable kind is how the blurred particles are shaped in circles. Others are just total blur :D
 
Cool thread. Some of the more obvious examples lifted from my gallery:

All pics link to full size, all pics post-processed in photoshop
