Both shots are pretty much straight from the camera other than a slight increase in exposure in ACR (0.2, from memory) for the filtered one.

This is a really in-expensive filter that everyone would have access too. Its.....

"Dusty Flyscreen" I would however recommend a UV filter between it and your lens just to keep the dust off the glass. :wink:

Dusty fly screen should be marketed. It has a nice effect.

Thanks Matt, I thought so too.
Although the prototype needs a little work before it's saleable. :lol:

nice effect. it sounds ver similar to what my father in law has done. He bought a cheapy uv filter. took out the glass and glued in a piece of stocking so that it is nice and tight. gives it a soft focus effect.

Thanks Andre.
Highly underrated - I agree. Would probably cost $90 if it was made by Cokin. :wink:

Poompy - I have been thinking of doing excactly the same as your Father-in-law only fly-screen instead of stocking. Given the idea, I might just experiment a little more. Stockings come in different colours don't they? :lol:

yeh stockings come in different colors. such as natural through to dark blue through to dark back.

could add some interesting effects.
