Tree Lighting

I went to the tree lighting in Rockefeller Center last night.
I had time to spare so I found some paper and made pretty filters!
I wish christmas trees always looked like this!

    To make the shapes just take some black paper, cut a shape in the middle of it and then put it over your lens. You have to purposely shoot out of focus to see the lights change shape and I think it works better when you have a lens with a wide aperture. I shot these with my 85mm 1.2 =)

    I did that here!
    I had troubles in the beginning because my lens doesn't have a wide aperture (only f/5.6) =(
    But I cut the heart shape really really small, so it could 'cover' the light dot. It worked (not so great, though):
