Had another go at custom bokeh. I had had this in my mind for a while, but the first attempts at cutting the shape didn't work. I've found my macro 50mm lens doesn't like any of them, but it seems to work for the zoom lens on macro setting. Would've liked to get the shape a bit better and a tad bigger, but I'm far too tired to play around with this for too long tonight. Got the clearest results from fairy lights reflected in a large picture frame rather than from the lights directly...go figure?!
Thank you all for the well wishes - surely they must work very soon!
@judithg It's actually really easy, I'm sure you would master it! I can take a photo of the lens if you want - mine is simple and not as pretty as some of the demonstrations I've seen but works just the same!
