3.3 should be fine assuming the focal length isn't below 24mm or so, and there's actually some OOF highlights (best captured by focusing closer and having brighter points of light in the distance).Put the camera in manual, and set the aperture wide open (are you sure it doesn't go below 3.3?? that's a bit of an odd number). Attach their fancy little card thing, focus close, and shoot & chimp until you get the right exposure.
yes but i know how to stay away from dangerous people and call police and such.far too many times i've been wandering a long route over days, trekking through villages in remote parts of the world, and goddamn dogs on the PUBLIC roads stop me from walking, bark at me and threaten me, and i have to retreat and wait hours before the GODf**kINGDAMN dog will leave so i can walk down a GODDAMN PUBLIC road that the people have no objection to me walking down.that pisses me off.
This technique has been around a long time. For the most part, it's pretty cheesy, but it can be used to very interesting effect in certain circumstances.And, it's not the bokeh that's shaped... it's the circle of confusion (which, of course, is no longer a circle... the shape of confusion? the area of confusion?)Check out the film, Speed Racer. Different characters or situations have different shaped out-of-focus highlights: they've taken the operatic concept of leitmotif and create the lightmotif! It's actually a very intriguing and effective (though incredibly subtle) story-telling device.

Might want to look into designing in Illustrator and getting paper laser-cut.
