Day 16 - How To Catch Butterflies

Was experimenting with custom bokeh's on Day 16. As always loads of tips available on the net to achieve custom bokeh effects, look it up. 

I actually made three shapes, a heart, butterfly and star. But decided to go with the butterflies since hearts and stars have been clicked in plenty. The images had a lot of noise though, which I tried rather unsuccessfully to remove during post processing. Not sure if it was because of my camera or whether the paper I used for the bokeh shape was not black; probably both.

Have to try this technique again with better drawn shapes. This butterfly of mine looks like the result of a genetic experiment in a lepidopetra lab seriously gone wrong.
