To me it looks like a bad super hero costume. Not really feeling the design.

Only a six-bladed diaphram? No way. The Bokeh on that shirt is probably awful...

(Kind of Kidding. It's a little to stylized for my taste. Photographers will probably get it but the rest of the general public will probably think it's some wierd kind of spider web or something. The lines running all the way off the front are a little over the top.)

OK, honest answer, I wouldn't buy the shirt. To me, it looks like the area of interest (the aperture) is mid abdomen, and not mid chest, traditionally where most t-shirt graphics go. Most guys don't have the physique that would want to call attention to the mid abdomen, and most girls don't think they have the physique that would want to call attention to the mid abdomen.

My 2¢

Would you hate me if I said it hurts my eyes?

Cause it hurts my eyes.

Sorry for the confusion. I did not make/buy this shirt. Just trying to see what their audience is. Photogs wont get it. Who is going to buy this :lol:

Photographers might but then spend all week explaining to everyone what the motif is about.

Had the image above been in the middle of a lens in the middle of the top, it would have made more sense.

Personally I would rather have the "I'm a Photographer not a Terrosist" top.

I'd prefer the front view of a lens over the full-shirt abstract, perhaps with "f/8 and be there" below it.

And yes, it needs to be centered on the chest.

And yes, the bokeh with such an aperture would be terrible. I mean, who uses flat-sided blades anymore? And only a six-blade aperture? Feh!

Makes me miss my high school photo club t-shirt...

One of the slogans we had printed was "Up Your ASA."

We all liked it, but only got to wear them (at school!) one day. The principal (whose name happened to start with "Father") didn't appreciate our play on words!!!
