Using a bubblw wrap is a great idea. I've never thought of that before.

I have heard of a LOT of ways to get bokeh, but honestly, this is the first time I've ever heard bubble wrap suggested, and I have to say, it's one of my favorites I've seen! Thank you

and set lens to how many mm?
i mean, do i get more bokeh at 50mm prime lens f1.4? or more at 300mm 5.6f tele lens?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The mm shouldn't matter much, but the f1.4 will create a more shallow depth of field that should make for better bokeh.

but my bokeh always look so stupid...check out like some late close ups work from me :/

Well first of all let me say, you have a pretty impressive gallery. Really love the colors in your shots!
I don't think the bokeh looks 'stupid' in any way, but in some shots you don't get that picture-perfect round shaped bokeh, which mainly has to do with the light in the picture. Try shooting up a tree and you will get plenty of bokeh simply because you'll be shooting right towards the sky (=light). This will always create more bokeh than shooting downwards i.e. not towards a light source.
