shaped bokeh

i saw this on flickr and haddddd to try it. so core and i went to the beach which was really dark haha :S and gave it a shot.

basically you cut out the hole in the shape you want from a piece of cardboard (which you then put over the lens of your camera). the size of the hole depends on the aperture and im not very smart soooooooo it was a bit trial and error.

here's corey cuttin some shapes


star shaped bokeh!
