This will also
give you a soft-focus effect. Apply more petroleum jelly
to the outer perimeter for a graduated transition from
clear focus to blurred color. Do not apply any petroleum
jelly where you want your subject to be in clear focus.
The results of this technique can be seen in the following
illustration. If your camera doesn??™t have a screw-in filter
mount, you can place a piece of
glass coated with petroleum jelly
over the lens. Whichever method
you choose, be careful not to get
any petroleum jelly on the camera.
In fact, it??™s a good idea to carry
a package of moist towelettes
in your camera bag to remove
any dirt or grime that may have
accumulated on your hands before
handling your camera.
