Govindrathod: What if a person doesnt have a vignette mask? is it okay if you try doing it with such masks? i mean is it okay if we try to take a snap in such a manner that the vignette effect is the outcome? (43 days ago)

kyricom: 12 out of 21 entries so far do not say how they made the vignette... how do we know it wasn't the forbidden photoshop? Are they off-theme? Do we ignore it? (37 days ago)

Author Description:
For this photo i used...
Christmas tree lights,that i place as far as i could from the camera.
A black piece of paper with a hole in the middle,in the shape of a heart that i place in front of my cameras lens (with power tape).
18x zoom (till the frame fills up with the lights) & manually focus on the flowers.
That way you have a bokeh effect with the shape of a heart & a vignette not made in PS but a real one.
Iso 100
f 4.0
0.62 sec exposure with the use of a tripod.
Raw file
Decrease clarity to get this dreamy effect.
