Out of focus highlights manipulation The highlights can be shaped by placing non-reflective black paper at the front of a lens. The paper has a uniquely shaped cutout that creates the identically-shaped highlights. For more information:

Thanks :thumbup: Manipulation of oof highlights has the potential of adding an artistic touch to a photo :)
Thanks for the reminder.... I used to do something similar back in film days.... I need to go back & see if there are other techniques I used to use that would still be applicable to digital... I've already done the "zoomimg" while shooting trick...

I too use to zoom my one touch Sigma lens with the Canon AE-1. I focused on a digital LCD clock in a darkened room and zoomed the lens :)
