お約束とおり、ハートの形の光(ぼけ？)の作り方をご説明します。
とても簡単です。
まずは紙コップなどで、レンズの前にかぶせるキャップを作ります。

I promised I would show you how to make heart shaped bokeh, so here goes.
Bokeh are the lovely out of focus circles of glistening light in the background of a photo. There are different kinds of bokeh, but the ones we are talking about today are from small points filtered sunlight, bouncing off leaves or water.

そして黒い画用紙をハートの形に切り取ったものを作り、そのキャップに貼ります。
The shape of these bokeh are determined by mechanics inside a camera lense and we can modify the bokeh to a certain extent by changing the shape of the light entering the lense. The easiest way to do this is to make a cover that slips over the front of the lense, and then cut a hole in the front in the shape you want. Like this:

This is what it looks like from the front.

And that's it! 
Keep it in your camera bag, and when you find some nice bokeh, slip it over the front of the lense and watch the shape change into a heart.
