You might remember my post about trying to rig shapes on the end of my lens to create bokeh. I put a lot of time into my contraption. Not long after, I found this handy dandy kit that has everything ready to attach to your lens with a rubber band. No work involved.
Couldn’t be easier. And it works well too.
The Bokeh Masters Kit includes lots of disks punched with shapes. You mount these discs into a soft plastic frame attached to your camera lens by a rubber band. And, there are plenty of unpunched disks for customizing unique shapes.
The instructions included with the kit are detailed and easy to understand. I would emphasize that you want to shoot using a large aperture on a lens with a smallish filter size. I took the above pic on my 50mm f/1.4. The disc mount would be too small for a lens with a larger filter size like the 24-70 f/2.8, for example.
Do you have a lensbaby? Amazon has a similar kit for you.
My holiday cards this year will feature bokeh hearts or stars. That’s all I know about them so far, but I’m glad to have made a little progress!
