apparition

over at 52 frames, the challenge this week is photo distortion, with the extra challenge of using vaseline to distort the image.

i might have destroyed an expensive CPL lens after i've washed it to remove the vaseline. 'tis a good thing though as i had the initial idea of putting vaseline right on the lens itself. gheez! i definitely won't try doing that again. as it is, i only put a really small amount yet the results were indiscernible images like this one. this wasn't my entry but i thought i could use this for my letter A project this month.

Interesting. I think that I have stretched plastic wrap across the lens first before smearing petroleum jelly.

I wouldn't be game enough to try the vaseline - Kathy's idea is a thought - I thought maybe having a cheap filter that can be washed and reused.
I like ethereal Vikki :)

Aren't you supposed to protect the lens with cling film??

[Casablanca]

I was just thinking that when I have done this I have stretched clingfilm across the lens and doctored that.......hope you get it all clean!! Nice result. Lovely catchlights in the eyes

[Susan Wakely]

A great result albeit tat you ma have trashed a lens.

What a beautifully soft selfie! I imagine the lens is salvageable, but maybe not to its former function
