While thinking about the soft focus challenge and too cheap to buy a lens. And don't even want to mess with vaseline. I discovered panty hose, yes, colored panty hose toes. I cut several colors of my wifes oldies and discovered some interesting things. They stretch nicely over my lens and bingo. I didn't do any set-up, I shot my daughter with flash on slow, at approx. 1/4 second, so red-eye happened. See several examples below.
 black
 toupe
 white
I also cut blue (two colors), gray and a goldish toupe. Only problem my model walked out on me.
Let me know what ya think.

| Why are all the good models so tempermental? |

| The first and third ones worked quite well, but I find the second one a bit too soft. I'm not sure it's the colour though, maybe something to do with the thickness of the pantihose, or the amount you stretched them. Keep experimenting. |

you know sometimes this really annoys me when a tip is posted in this portion of a challenge. I had someone give me this suggestion last night and I tried it too. I liked the outcome also and was planning to use it in the challenge, now I have to reevaluate what I did and think is there enough difference in it..

Depends on what effect you want. Nude and suntan pantyhose make almost a sepia tone. |

any meshed cloth will do the job. the finer the mesh, the more diffuse the effect. i used some nude panty hose over the lens on this shot ..

| Personally I kind of liked the black. It appears to add a bit more contrast than the other colors. Van |
