Create ur own shaped bokeh ^^

Hello! here’s how we can create our very own shaped bokeh. ^^
U’ll need :
*Sugar paper
*Sellotape & scissor
*Large aperture lens ( i am using a Canon 50mm 1.8 )

First, u’ll have to cut the sugar paper into the shape of a lens hood.Make it slightly bigger than your lens to make sure it fits your lens easily.

Next, cut the shape u preferred (to appear as ur shaped bokeh, for e.g; heart,star,plane and etc.) at middle of the “fake lens” u did just now.
I don’t have the accurate diameter of the shape cut out but it will definitely give u different results in ur bokeh later. In my earliest experiment, my shape cut out were too big and the outcome was not so pretty so i made some new shape and make em’ slightly smaller. I preferred to do the shape cut out manually by hand but u can also use decorative punch to save time So once it’s done, this is how your “fake lens” gonna look like .

Last but not least, u can now have ur very own cool bokeh shoot. And oh, remember to set your camera to it’s lowest aperture value. Below are some of my shaped bokeh photos. Happy trying! ^^
