Yes that is a star OoF behind Chris.

An experiment with water droplets and star bokeh for the Canon Photo5 competition Bokeh brief.

I just love the orange glow that comes out of these old windows down at the steal mill... Of course it was raining again, story of our life right now...

Hope everyone's week is going well..

Never dull your shine for somebody else.

I cut out a 58mm circle with a star in the middle and stuck it between my lens and filter. It makes for a very lomo-esque result, especially since I can't MF to save my life.

Taken with the Russian Industar 50mm 2.8 close-up lens.

Experiment - Make star shaped bokeh.

This was a lot of fun. I took some black art paper, cut it out into a circle to cover the lens and punched the middle of the circle with a star shaped hole punch. Hold it over the lens and...Voila! Star shaped bokeh!

LOVE Christmas!! Put the decs up last night, the kids were so excited when they came downstairs this morning and we told them the Christmas Elves had been...! We don't have many traditions, but putting the tree up is definitely one of them!

Fall is coming

Nice glass of Red by the Christmas tree lights and some custom bokeh. Amazing what a bit of cardboard and some scissors can do.

One year ago I took my first night shot with the rebel xti.

Made these little guys with help from Grandma's unused button collection and some spare time on my hands!

The star bokeh effect in the background was done by taping black card with a 2cm star cut in it, to the front of my f1.8 lens.

I was into the idea and not into the results, but alas my desire to veg out won over my desire to color correct.

Day 6

Wild Flag played the Grey Eagle in Asheville, North Carolina on March 23, 2011. I was shooting with a Lensbaby Control Freak and a star bokeh filter.

看起來奶茶活像是貼上去的...

Liz. custom bokeh. I'm not really sure why its all over her face.

I've put together a dozen or so shaped cut outs so I can play with the shaped bokeh, this is street lights near work. More shapes to come!
