 This was a bit of a last minute job, I started after dinner today (the day it is due).

I've always wanted to try one of these bokeh effects so I cut a Christmas tree shape into black cardboard ~1,5cm tall. Attached the card to a filter and put the filter on my Nikon 50mm f1,4D. I used a flash with the camera set to 'rear flash' to light up the present.

I don't know if this will do well, I don't expect anything. This challenge was more of an excuse for me to try out the bokeh shape effect.
