Hello, Newbie here! I have a question...

pls del

OP specifically said that is NOT what he is trying to do.

i don't get where you get that from this:

It was explained in the thread already. Feel free to refresh yourself by reading it.

OP wanted star shapes. Why spend money on something that you can create by shooting at say f/14 for free?

Good grief man. Would you just go to the link I provided and get yourself a clue?

Then, let it go. You were mistaken. No big deal.

Must be a case of two nations divided by a common language then. Because to me using a small aperture will get far more pleasing results. JMHO of course

Thank you for your opinion. It won't give the results the OP was looking for though, and that's sort of the whole idea.

Here's a wild thought: Sometimes people want to throw their backgrounds OOF, AND they want the resulting bokeh to have some sort of fun shape to it. In a case like that (this OP in this thread, btw) stopping down the lens would not be a valid solution.

You do understand DOF, right?

Of course.
