I am impressed with the bokeh created using a simple DIY method to using a fake lens hood. I also wanted to own that unit myself. So, it took me 3 days to complete this DIY myself. Seriously, not 3 full days, LOL… Btw, it is an interesting DIY to experience with.

Simply love it. Above is an example taken using the following gears: -

      Jason, thanks bro and it is made to last…

      simon, bokeh is referring to “become blurred or fuzzy”. please read more at Wikipedia -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bokeh

      I remembered reading this on another site too, about the heart shaped bokeh, but I still haven’t done one of my own! Looks cool, though! Thanks for sharing.. and for motivating me again haha..

      dey macha, that picture ( the “bokeh” box ) got one love shape only – why the “AFTER” picture got so many love shapes one?
