 Had fun watching my son, Colin, on Friday.
He had just awoken from his morning nap and thought I\'d tried both the suggestion of putting a stocking over the lens for a soft effect and fading gaussian blur.
This was one shot where I pulled the hose very tight, the other looser shots were very soft and had a white glow to it that was too much IMO.
Sorry to post a baby shot but I just couldn\'t help it.

Natural light from the window with my 50 1.8 at 1.8.
