Did you know you can sort of “customize” the shape of the bokeh in your shots? Me either. Just ran across this today over at diyphotography.net and thought I would pass on the link. Click here to checkout a very simple and cheap (nearly free) way to try something new.
Can you imagine what Christmas lights on a house may look like with this? Or that Christmas tree in back of your kids? Maybe we could convince Jim to create a photo contest for the improvephotography.com community for the best use of this effect.
Comment below if you have tried something like this or if you think you will.

Yep, I tried it last year and created heart bokeh. This year, I’m going to try a few other shapes.
Here’s my heart bokeh: http://www.jennierosedesigns.blogspot.com/2013/12/christmas-traditions.html. I shot this photo with my Nikon D700 and a 50mm f/1.4 lens.
