Description
I made another guide about "shaped bokeh" and original-username tried it out and didn't get to a satisfactory level. She used a 18-105mm. lens.I did this cheat sheet to see if it could help people in her situation.
I hope it does.

Wow! This is soooo immensely helpful! I've tried to do this so many times and it never works. I always thought oyu had to use black paper. Drove me insane trying to figure it out. Thanks so much!!

hmmph, I think I understand better. The bigger the ratio between the lens length and f-number the better the final product is. I adore how trippy the infinite one is
Did you have about the same sized vignette for both 100mm and 300mm? Going to borrow some of my friend's lenses to experiment some more.
Here is one of my more successful attempts at this thing Star out of Stars

I forgot: the trippy ones were not the infinite, the focus started at 1m. and I played with the focus ring for the 6 seconds of exposure.

The thing about the focal lenght/F-stop ratio sounds convincing.
It wasn't the same vignette with 300 and 100 mm.
At 100 mm. no matter the focused distance there was always an oval vignette while at 300 mm. the only "annoying" vignette was when the focus was set to .5m (macro setting in my lens) and it had the "fish shape".
I know these photos are too dark for the vignette to be noticed, but they are as the came from the camera.
