key

tried some shaped bokeh keyholes with my macro key ... this is the key from an old sewing machine.

Fab key

Great shot. I love the shapes and colours

[Ingrid Budge]

No idea at all how you did that - but it's really cool - love it

[Brett]

I really like the way that came out.

[Walks @ 7]

Excellent! Never knew that sewing machines had keys at one time. FAV!!!

[Taffy]

Wonderful use of shape bokeh as they sort of parallel the vertical look of the key.

@joysabin this opens the wooden case, i had the machine, but no key, but a friend happened to have one amongst his 'junk'

@taffy the cutout was not as crisp as it could have been but it worked ok, first time i have tried it

[kali]

@ingrid2101 i cut a little keyhole in a circle of black paper and taped it to the lens, i have overlaid another sheet of the bokeh on top of the first image as well.

@joansmor @gazzatron @brett101 thankyou

Also looks like Christmas tree shapes and bells (and it isn't even December). Really good results with your technique a lovely blend of bokeh shapes.

Works well.

[KWind]

Cool bokeh!

[Jennifer]

lovely dof and bokeh

[Richard Sayer]

Brilliant... and even more so viewed on black.

[Ingrid Budge]

@kali66 Seriously !! that's how it's done - haha - I thought shaped bokeh was all made with expensive lenses!

[Maggiemae]

You made the bokeh to shape like a keyhole!! Wow! This is divine! fav

[Yao RL]

Mysterious, I wonder its potential.

[Delwyn Barnett]

Very creative.
