It's not a new concept but I thought I would give it a go. I know it is kinda cheesy but it is also kinda cool. 1. The Holy Cross bokeh  2. Snowman bokeh  3.

I had a link somewhere. One method is to make a lenscap of sorts from black construction paper and cut out the shape. This was a real quick hack job on my 50mm (look at the red LEDs):  Sonny's came out much better. Mine was a worse attempt at this site's info: DIY - Create Your Own Bokeh | DIYPhotography.net He got some cool inputs from readers later on: The Best 6 Ways To Create Your Own Bokeh | DIYPhotography.net More resent post on it: Everything You Wanted To Know About The Magical Shaped Bokeh | DIYPhotography.net Jake likes this. --------------------------- Sony|SonyIR|Sony NEX|Minolta Film|Polaroid If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. ~Lewis Hine "No one cares how hard you worked...but they will notice if you didn't work hard enough." -Ctein |

 The fist one I made was the heart shape. I thought I would get all fancy and make it so I could slip over my lens. It took too long so my next two I used gaffer tape to hold them in place.

Yeah, mine looked like yours. I needed to take more time with the cutout sizing. I think I had to too small then went too big. --------------------------- Sony|SonyIR|Sony NEX|Minolta Film|Polaroid If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. ~Lewis Hine "No one cares how hard you worked...but they will notice if you didn't work hard enough." -Ctein |

Since I was using my 70-200 this is what I calculated: 100mm/f2.8= 35mm or 3.5cm After I cut out a circle that was 77mm in diameter (or larger) to fit over the front element of the 70-200 I made a square that was 3.5cm x 3.5cm and fit my shape into those dimensions. The square shape also has to be in the exact center for best results. --------------------------- Support Pixtus by Purchasing Your Gear From: B&H Photo | Amazon | Adorama Check out the NEW Pixtus Photography Cheat Sheet!

I have some shaped disks that came with my Lensbaby. I'll have to check the sizes and give this a try. I've not had much luck using the Lensbaby. --------------------------- Debbie Nelson http://debbienelsonphotography.com Camera (kam-er-uh) noun, an instrument of vision |
