One of our favorite words as photo-loving folk is the word “Bokeh.” Not only is it fun to say, but “Bokeh” adds incredible depth and interest to our photos – creating blurred, out-of-focus areas in them (“the Fuzzy”, we like to say) that can change a regular ol’ snapshot into a photograph. We just found a tutorial that helps you shape the Fuzzy into different shapes – stars, hearts, butterflies… Imagine how cool it is to see hearts appear in your portraits, almost magically! It’s actually easier than you think – simply make a fake lens hood from black construction paper, then cut a hole out of it in the shape you’d like. When light reaches your lens through the shaped hole, it’ll then take on that shape – whether its a star or a heart or whatever! We feel like a giant anvil just fell on us from the sky, ala a Looney Tunes cartoon – we’re seeing stars everywhere with our photos now. We love it! Don’t miss the six best ways to use this technique in your photos.

[...] I decided to try out a little project that was posted over on Photojojo this past weekend. It took a few tries to get the sizing correct for the cut, but it was overall pretty easy, and fun. The two photos above were done using black construction paper, just as a test, which worked out OK for a first run. I think I will work on a better set and use poster board or vinyl, something that will last a bit longer and be a bit more sturdy.
