Creative Apeture project
Inspired by lensbabies creative apeture kit and by an article I saw in Flickr linking to something someone else had done, I decided to try my own creative apeture discs. Its easy as pie. Heres my first attempts.
The way to do this is to cut a disc the size of your lens thread, and cut a shape in the middle (don't cut while its on the lens due to scratches obviously!). The shape can be nearly anything really. Then just slot it on the lens (against the UV filter to avoid scratcing the lens element). The size of the shape will determine the DOF just as normal apeture does.
