very simple this; not sure quite how unique a technique this is, but it's something i thought of, thought i'd try, and think i'm pretty ha[[y with.
basically, i applied two strips of scotch sticky tape across the lens. and that's it. post editting included curves, brightness, cropping and sizing, and a gentle sprinkle of neatimage. due to the basic rules, can't get rid of the dust spots (due to the tape, naturally) but it's a prett good result, methinks. hoping for a plus 6!

I really like this one! I didn't get a chance to vote or enter this challenge, but my first idea when I saw it was to try and create a digital Holga look. I didn't think of using scotch tape, but this is exactly the effect I was looking for. Great job.
I'm guessing your new technique is taking sun-facing shots. Really blows out the top right, but I like the shine it creates on the walkway and the train. Good job.
I'm curious to know if this was achieved by wiping fog off your lens because I tried some shots like that and didn't use them. I really like the mood in this. 8
