In the final experiment for the Professional Practice I had taken two shots using a 1800's Petval lens. The lens in question is extremely fast at f2.8. To have a workable shutter speed (as the petval has no shutter) a combination of shutter and aperture would be around 2 seconds. So that I could control light better I workman like taped a 4 stop filter to the front of the lens. Taking a lightmeter reading I could then work out when the light coming into the room was appropriate. The images below show the amazing swirly bokeh you are able to obtain with these fantastic old lenses.
