![]() ![]() You're literally going to take that piece of paper, wrap it round your lens like that, and then you're just going to hold it back in place with a piece of sticky tape so that we've created a kind of sheath for our lens.Īnd you should end up with something simple like below where you can just slip that on over the top of your lens and take that back off so you can use that filter on different lenses as well. And what we're going to do with this as essentially just wrap this around our lens to create a kind of sheath that fits around your lens. So we want that to be around two and a half inches thick. The first step is just simply to take your black paper and cut off a strip of paper from the side. Now I do want to say right now, before we start, none of this needs to be perfect! If you watch the video you’ll see just how ropey mine looks, but it still does the job perfectly :) Step One: You’ll need some black paper, a pair of scissors so you can cut out some shapes, and you're going to need a roll of sticky tape so you can stick the whole thing together. You're only going to need three things to create this DIY photo filter. Thought it was kinda cool but was unsure if it was cliche since I thought they looked like some silly overlay put into Photoshop, hence posting on r/photocritique to get some different opinions.This is one of those where you would be better to watch the video, but if you prefer to read, I’ve listed out the steps for you below! What you’ll need to create a shaped bokeh filter: “I don’t really have a crazy interesting story but I took some long exposures for myself and noticed these tiny bokeh effects didn’t even notice there was sand on my knockoff ND filters until after the fact. I was pretty much teaching a friend the basics of photography and she took me out to Lake Tahoe to mainly to teach basic exposure, balancing ISO, Shutter, Aperture, and a little bit of insight to composition,” Brandon replied when I asked him to share more of his thoughts about the photo. ![]() “It was funny cause I’m not sure if I love the photo or not but I’m crazy happy that a lot of people do. It’s not situations like that which make the effect cliche it’s the filter packs that do,” Redditor such_chris pointed out something which I think we can all agree to. I have a couple shots where water drops ended up on my filter and gave a similar effect. “It’s an awesome shot, especially since it’s a natural effect. The responses may not have been positive if it was added in the shot with a hipster-ish filter, but it’s all good because of the cool story behind it. While there was an understandable fear on Brandon’s part that the effect would look like “cheesy fairy sparkles,” many of those who responded to his call for critique actually liked how the photo turned out. “Shot on a Canon 5D Mk III with a Canon 35mm f1.4L and knock off Cokin ND Square filters all stacked 6 sec, f22, and ISO 50.” Thoughts? Too cliché?” he wrote on the thread. ![]() “Some sand got on my Cokin ND filter while doing some long exposures at Lake Tahoe and it kinda made a neato bokeh effect. ![]() There doesn’t seem to anything out of the ordinary about that at first, except for the bit about sand making a “neato bokeh effect” on his shot. Who knew an accidental sprinkling of sand could work some bokeh magic on a long exposure shot?ĭuring one of our routine rounds on Reddit’s photography threads, we spotted a post by Brandon Nguyen on r/photocritique asking for thoughts on one of his long exposures taken at Lake Tahoe. ![]()
