I heart faces *hearts*

I'm very last minute for this week's challenge... I was actually going to skip a week, I just didn't think I would have time for anything creative. Well, I proved myself wrong. We snatched some heart shape sunglasses, taped a black paper with a heart shape cut out on my lens and headed outside today after school.

I had never tried to make bokeh shapes before and was surprised how well it worked! Our lemon tree made the perfect backdrop and lemons were turned into hearts.

I seriously pondered over color or b&w for about an hour. Like I have nothing better to do, lol. Both my kids like the b&w version better... so I'm going with it. Even though I really like the yellow heart bokeh in the color version ;-).

I did the heart shaped bokeh this year, too, but mine didn't come out nearly as lovely!

Love the bokeh, what a cool idea. You just put a cut out heart shae over the lens and it changed the shape? I didn't realize that would work that way.

Here's a tutorial... it only works if you have lights or something else bright in the background.
