Merry Christmas everyone!

For all the creatives among you I made a tutorial on how to produce a star shaped bokeh effect. It is really simple.

– scissors

– cardboard

– pen

– your lens

trace your lens.

draw round edges.

cut out your tracing.

fold the edges.

draw the shape of a star into the middle of the cardboard.

cut it out.

place the cardboard onto your lens.

The stars will appear as soon as light points are out of focus. Here I have taken a picture of the chain of lights on our christmas tree.

You can make any kind of bokeh shapes. A heart for example.
