New, fun activities, we have a fun DIY way to photograph the candles on your menorah this Hanukkah or the lights on your Christmas tree this holiday season. It also works great for outdoor light displays and so much more. We’ve shown variations of this activity almost every year at this time — as it is too fun not to keep sharing. Learn to Photograph Custom Shaped Bokeh for the Holidays in this DIY Activity Do It Yourself One my favorite things about taking pictures during the holiday season is all of the pretty lights that always seem to be in the background of everything I shoot.
“Bokeh” can be defined as the aesthetic quality Industry Email List of blur, or the way a lens renders points of light that are out of focus. Everyone goes crazy for pretty bokeh, so I would like to teach you guys how to manipulate your bokeh a bit. In honor of Hanukkah, I am going to make some Star of David shaped bokeh and will walk you through how to do it, step by step. You can create any shape you desired, not just stars. Practice shooting Christmas lights and other lighting using this technique and various shapes. If you are not handy, or lack time, you can buy this Bokeh Kit which does the hard work for you.
Here are a few more examples . Christmas lights outdoors and from a light fixture. No photoshop is required to create the unique shapes because this is all camera work. But of course you can make your lights more colorful using Photoshop actions from MCP. Step 1 . First I need to create a homemade lens hood with the Star of David cut out of it. For this we need some black construction paper, scissors, and tape. The resulting image will be best with your widest aperture lens, so choose that lens for this step. I will be using my 85mm 1.8 for this project. Trace the lens cap of that lens.
