Product Description
You can bend your Lensbaby to control your focus, change your optics to suit your vision, and with the Creative Aperture Kit, you can custom cut your aperture disks into any aperture shape you want.
Out of focus specular highlights (bright points of light like street lights or sunlight bouncing off a shiny car) will take on the shape of the hole in your aperture disk. Lights lining the expanse of a city bridge suddenly turn into hundreds of tiny stars, instead of little dots of light. This effect also works in more subtly lit situations. A photo of a woodsy scene can appear to have a star pattern when shooting with a star aperture disk, if the light is shining through lots of leafy trees.
Creative aperture disks are meant to be dropped into your Lensbaby optic in place of one of the regular aperture disks with round holes that come with all Lensbaby optics. Instead of a round f/4, for example, you can use an aperture disk with a star cut out of the center.
Just make sure to place some of these bright points of light in the blurry part of the image (not the sweet spot of focus) – otherwise those cool shapes won’t appear. The more you bend and blur your image, the more pronounced these shapes become.
Our Creative Aperture Kit contains two pre-cut disks to help you get started (a heart and a star) plus five blank disks for you to get creative with. Use craft store hole punches or an exacto knife to cut your own shapes.
