 This is an old analog F-601 that I got from
my dad. Cut out the ribbon from a piece of paper,
fit paper into lens, forgot to take off dented
filter. For this shot I built a
softbox after the tutorial on dpc by
rob_smith.

In total, I worked about 5 hours on the shot.
It is far from being perfect, but it came
out better than I had hoped.

You have it in your camera? I have a special plugin for it. It does not work as well as advertised, however.

I love the colour in this image, and good on ya for using a Nikon :) The front of the lens looks a bit dinged up though. Good shot.

Wouldn't that be nice!

Good concept, the whole things quite dark, which I'm guessing was your intention but it doesn't really work for me.

There also appears to be some banding of the blue round the edge, and I'm guessing you've applied a blur layer here with a mask but it's picked up the edges of the camera and made it look a touch soft.
