For Xmas, My GF got me the creative aperture kit for my LB2. I will be receiving MORE blanks in the next day or so, due to their inclusion in the wide angle/tele/macro kit.

So far, i've made a really crappy spiral, a paw print and a failed pinhole (which i'm going to alter to something else). I'm at a loss for ideas as to what I should make with all these blanks.

I'm looking for suggestions!

Also, Is it possible to do a zone sieve or zone plate?

Check out the main gallery with the filter set to look at Creative Aperture shots: Lensbaby Gallery Filter set for Creative Aperture. Hopefully that will spur some ideas.

Here's another one: Cut out a Mikey Mouse shape and then go shooting on the 4th of July. Sell resulting images to Disney for millions!

Cheers,

Sam

Some of the best, subtle use of creative apertures IMHO.

Also some good info in this earlier thread:

Hope this helps...

The key is play, experiment, have fun...blank aperture disks are cheap.
