  26. Noël Zia Lee (42 months ago | reply)

    That's so cool!! I never heard of custom bokeh before. I think I'd like to try it.

  27. memory in time( Patti ) (42 months ago | reply)

    Great!! such a happy picture. i've heard about those lenses but never seen a picture. now I'm going to have to get one :o)!! Beautiful shot.

  28. Adam Foster | Codefor (42 months ago | reply)

    cheers guys =]

    @noel, xmas is the perfect time to give it a try lots of lights around and cold, dark days

    @patti, you can make the cover for free! But I guess you need a fast lens like the Canon 50mm or the Nikon equivalent =]

  29. memory in time( Patti ) (42 months ago | reply)

    Adam, thanks for the info! I'd love to give it a try.I have the 50mm 1.4, plus a couple 2.8's.(Canon person here :o) Where do I find out how to make one?

  30. Adam Foster | Codefor (42 months ago | reply)

    Ahh perfect! Take a look at my facebook images there is a kit list on there:

    The hoods i used are in this image. To make one just cut a small shape on card and create a hood that will slip over the lens and only let light in that is the shape you cut, drop me a mail if you need anymore help =]

    This is simply beautiful!
    Great colors and details!

  35. CitizenLee (42 months ago | reply)

    Awesome work Adam! It looks superb!

    I tried to make some custom covers for my 50mm but I think I made the cutouts too big as they never look right. I think I need to try again :)

  36. koinis (42 months ago | reply)

    Cool effect, well done! :)

    Merry Christmas! :D

    awesome photograph i love all the colours!

  43. Martin Slowey (36 months ago | reply)

    Bizarre and brilliant. One of my colleagues told me about this affect, but I hadn't seen any examples up to now. Star shaped cut out over the lens and then shoot some sparkly stuff, yea?
