Homemade Filters - The New Technique Challenge

December 27th, 2019
Thanks to Hope D Jennings @mzzhope for coming up with the last Technique Challenge – contre-jour. A new concept for me and I really enjoyed adding this to my photographic “arsenal”. And I am delighted to have the honor of hosting this next challenge.

This new technique challenge is to use a homemade filter. Below are some links to inspire you. A google search will produce more and give some links to videos as well.

You must use a homemade filter and NOT get the effect through post-processing. You may submit as many images as you like and you may use as many homemade filters as you like. Please note in your description or title of the image what filter you used.
Start date: December 27, 2019 End date: January 17, 2020
