The Aperture Mask Project

I’ve had this link hanging around in my bookmarks for ages and have done nothing about it.

But I recently re-read it, and when I came to the part that said -

You will need :

* One large aperture lens (a Canon 50mm F1.8 is used here)

…I thought, well that’s handy. I’ll have a go at that.

I don’t really know why I didn’t expect it to work. But of course it did.

(And all 4 photos in a Flickr set here)

The above is with the ’sakura’ (cherry blossom) shaped mask. For the full effect, I’ll have to see if I can find some pink lights. Not easy.

And of course there was the original, the heart.
