interesting use of technology old & new! |
I was actually trying to make something which would work as a neutral-density filter. I figured I could focus the camera on the distant subject, and that the dots/lines in the filter would be so OOF that they'd disappear -- there's been a recent discussion of this effect in a thread about shooting animals through cage bars. Obviously, it only partially works.
I work in the printing industry, where I'm used to turning images into halftone screens -- clear film with a pattern of dots which simulates the original photograph.
I have some pieces of film with different types of densities and patterns -- I'll have to see what effects they can produce. |
