stars that grow on trees

(Yes, I'm cheating my hiatus again. I think I'll just make this an exception.)

*Today, I tested out the bokeh shape lens hood I made for my 50mm f/1.8. The idea was introduced to our photography org by Sandra, and I wanted to try out a different shape. The results were fantastic, but I'm still trying to work out the little problems I have with the hood. Nevertheless, the photos came out pretty nice. (:*

At first I thought the countless hours I spent last night on precision-work with the size of the hole was in vain. But then I realized that all I had to do...

...was to take a closer look.

Imagine just how I felt upon the realization:

That stars could grow on trees!

All it takes is for us to learn how to -

or how not to -

focus.
