Seeing hearts

Posted in Dressing Up, Photography. on Friday, November 20th, 2009 by Melly Tags: christmas lights in orchard, heart shaped bokeh
Nov 20

I got down to making a heart-shaped bokeh lens hood in the afternoon so naturally I roam to where the bright lights are to test it out.


Check, it works


Hmm, yay!


Peter pan collar blouse from French Toast, Muji pullover, Forever21 shorts, flats from Studio Tang

I have a feeling my lens isn’t awesome enough to do more than this but we’ll see what I can figure out.

    I have no idea what a bokeh lens is but now I want one! I find that you can actually make those heart shapes appear so fascinating.

    Also, adore yr outfit, just had to say it. I adore anything with peter pan collars.

    Ooooo how do you do that? Awesome! And your outfit is so cute.

    Btw, remember this gif pic you did when you got the Mini Diana? Would you have time / patience / love / energy to explain me how to make one?
