August Abstract VII

Home

A dual entry. In keeping with my personal twist, this
is "straight out of the camera". I smeared Vaseline
thinly on a clear filter and shot through it to add
the shift lens look. This is for the Weekly Challenge
17: "If I were an Artist, how would I... compose a still
life?" & for the August Abstracts Challenge.

See it larger or even purchase prints at:

Canon EOS 40D ,Sigma 50mm F1.4 EX DG HSM
1/15s f/4.5 at 50.0mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Don't try this technique with a point and shoot camera, LOL. This is a classic still life, colors and dark background. Nice work, Scott. V

Well done! How do you get the vaseline off? :-)

Cool effect...a beautiful softness to this!

If you smeared it just round the edges you would have the equivalent of a lensbaby!! Nice work, and a great technique. Well done.
