Went up to the beach a little while ago and fitted a filter to the lens with vaseline smeared on it. What do you think?

I think it would look like a painting if you got a sunset or something with more color. That is a neat creative idea.

Thanks Marjnap.
Anyone else done shots through grease or shooting through gauze, that type of thing?

I've heard that this was a fairly common technique for doing close ups on aging Hollywood starlets in the good old film days!

Nice effect!

Cheers!

I really am not sure about this one. Maybe at a different time of the day it would be more fitting. Good idea though overall.

There was a Simpsons episode where Homer gets some glamor boudoir shots taken of himself as a gift for Marge. The female photographer uses a trowel to apply the Vaseline to the lens.

I used vaseline a couple of times in the early eighties--long before digital... Kind of a cool effect. I have also shot through lacy gauze a time or two... Really had forgotten the cool effects you can get with these methods. Thanks for sharing. Both shots work and are very intriguing.
