custom bokeh? (twinkle lights in photos)

[Ladybug]

Had anyone tried this? It look so cool. I'm want to give it a whirl this weekend! I have a snowflake and heart punch. Just need black card stock.

Wasn't sure where to put this thread. Can we add a photography subforum? We have enough professionals and enthusiasts to keep it active. I'd love to see more of everyone's photography.

Great idea on the subforum. I'll make sure it gets noticed.

I never knew you could do such a thing - that is SO cool!!

I haven't tried the shapes but I did the twinkle lights picture with my DS. I love it so much, it's my favorite pic of him. Please don't mind me while I totally AW this picture that's also my avatar:

So cute!!! Did you use a flash or natural light?

natural light. DS was like 4 ft. in front of the backdrop/lights and I had my aperture at 2.8. Our house is small so I had to use my lens that only goes to 2.8 but if you have one with a lower aperture, definitely go with the lowest setting to get the most bokeh!

Oh and I totally cloned in extra lights. I only had one strand, lol. I wish now I would have added them all the way down the sides, too but oh well.
