Dream lighting effects of various shapes can be "created" by ourselves.

I don't know if you have ever seen pictures of light sources in various shapes:

Like the one above, the light source is shown in a variety of small patterns, which looks very interesting.

Many people may think that this is achieved through late-stage technology, but in fact, this effect can be achieved by ourselves, and we can also imitate a lot of different patterns.

First of all, we need to prepare an opaque paper jam, preferably dark ones such as black.

Measure the diameter of the lens with a ruler, then use tools such as compasses to draw a circle according to the size of the lens, and then use scissors to cut out the circle.

Just compare the lens and make sure that the clipped circle completely covers the lens.

Then we can create patterns in the middle of the circular paper jam.

If you want the light source in the camera to show the effect of the pattern, we can draw what kind of pattern on the paper jam and then cut it out.

Eventually we will get a "lid" with a hollow pattern in the middle.

Glue the lid to the front of the lens, and the hollow pattern of the lid now becomes the transparent area of the lens.

Then we aim at the light source to shoot, and the light source will show the shape of the pattern.

The following points need to be noted:

First of all, the shape of the light source is completely controlled by the shape we cut, so if we want the light source to be more beautiful, we need to be more careful and precise when cutting.

Second, the effect of this light source is not obvious in any environment, and it will be better when the light contrast is strong and the use of a large aperture, such as night lights are especially suitable for showing this special light effect.

Finally, we can artificially control the shape of this light source, such as hearts, stars, triangles and so on, and we can make personalized cutting according to our own needs.

If we find it troublesome or want more accurate results, we can also buy this "lid", and there are many models to choose from.
