Cool and inexpensive bokeh tip

I found a very neat and handy tip for creating your own custom bokeh on diyphotography.net: You simply need a black paperboard and a large aperture lens (I used my 50mm F1.8). I cut out a star shaped something and just went in front of my house to take some pictures… very sweet!

christmas tree on the main square (custom bokeh)

university of arts, Linz (custom bokeh)

relections in the danube (custom bokeh)

update: shot another set of star-shaped xmas-market bokeh pics. I guess I really like this effect (cause it is almost christmas).
