Star-Box-Heart

Thanks to boredom, an addition to my camera accessories was created. I got the idea from this site: http://www.diyphotography.net/diy_create_your_own_bokeh

I changed the design a bit because I want to use different shapes without doing several cardboard hoods. So, I made a slot in front where I can slide a card with the shape cut-out. Thus, mine looked like this:

I am not really good with crafts like this so it didn't turn out to be a neat work. Anyway, as long as it functions properly, I'm happy with it. I made rectangular-, star- and heart-shaped cut-outs for my customized bokeh, and I tried it by using a flashlight as my light source.

(The photo in the first column is taken without the cardboard hood.)

Come nighttime, I tried my cardboard hood outside and took pictures of the surrounding lights. I'm looking forward to trying it out again tomorrow.

(It was a starry night, then I turned it into a hearty one. Haha.)
