[Pictures] Photos of "un-Hidden" Mickeys at Night

[NuGuardian]

Greetings MiceChatters! I have been lurking around here for awhile and figured it would be a good time to contribute to the community. Being a photography enthusiast, I would like to share some photos that I took the last time I was at the park.

Instead of posting the usual scenes around the park, I thought to show something different. Here are some photos that "reveal" the "Hidden" Mickeys at the park. Happy Holidays & Enjoy!

How did you get the lights to come out as little mickeys?

Yay for him/her linking to Flickr and describing things there.

Looks like he/she was using a Lensbaby lens with a custom aperture.

You see, typically, apertures (or the opening of a camera lens) is a circular shape. For this reason, when you focus in and out of things, the light images come out circular.

On a lensbaby lens, you get a unique focusing system along with the ability to change the aperture shape (depending on what model you have) to your liking. The original poster had changed his/her aperture to a mickey shaped opening so the lights come out to become mickey shapes rather than the typical circular shapes you would see...

So in other words, not a photoshop trick. A camera trick which is a lot cooler

Thanks everybody for the kind words, glad you guys like them.

For the the way I got the effect, ryanvalle got it right on the money. You also can do this effect without a special lens like the Lensbaby. You can check out this post on lifehacker.
