Hearts on Fire + Bokeh Filter DIY


Happy 4th of July!






__________________________________________________________________

Create your own Hearts on Fire fireworks with this easy Bokeh Filter.


Materials:
Black stock paper - we used a black postcard
Exacto Knife
Best with 55mm or 50mm lens

Directions:
1. Cut the stock into a circle the exact size of your lens.
 The circle should fit right inside the lens.
2. Use an exacto knife to cut out a small shape in the middle. We've done hearts, stars, lighting blots, bowler hats, snowflakes etc. Simpler designs work best.
3. Fit the filter inside your lens. Set your your focus to manual and adjust the focus until the lights turn into your filter shape. Works best at night.
