Mucking around with unconventional filters.

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

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.

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:
