Poor mans multi point star filter effect

How to use your camera settings to get a multi point star filter effect

If you’re a photographer who likes multi point star effects, but don’t want to lay out the cash for a filter, you can get a similar effect by setting your camera’s F-stop from anywhere between f/11 and f/22, depending on the circumstances.

Good to know. Sometimes I’ve accidentally managed to get this star effect, but wasn’t sure why. I just went back through my photo’s meta data and now see that the F-stop was quite high on all of the ones showing the star effect. Thanks again. Now I can do it intentionally!
