Wow this looks awesome!! makes me think I need to try and do photos like this again (only ever did it the one time)!
Oh it’s beautiful. How did you do that? I’m practically stalking you, don’t I? I just love bokeh so much that I’m checking your posts with ‘bokeh’ tag.
@simplysuzu - This was quite an easy and fun photo to take, actually. All you have to do is take a piece of cardboard, cut it in the shape of whatever bokeh pattern you’re after, and stick it on top of the lens. Since that is going to be smaller than your lens’s aperture, it becomes the “new” aperture. And just like how polygonal apertures lead to ugly polygon bokeh, patterned apertures can lead to pretty patterned bokeh!
