This is something I’ve wanted to try for a long long long time. Using custom aperture discs on the Lensbaby! Finally bought some blank discs from them and using some fun paper punch with cute designs (eg. star, snow flake, paw print etc), I made some custom aperture discs for my Lensbaby. The paper punch I have are a little bit too small, so I had to take a risk and try punching the ‘holes’ a bit on the side of the disc instead of being right in the middle. It still works! Most of them ended up having at least two ‘holes’ on the disc as it allows more light in and helps prevent longer exposures which my old trembling hands might not be able to handle.
Here are few random test shots I took after I made the discs.
Gotta find some time now to go do some proper shooting with this fun lens couple with some fun aperture discs.
