Mar 8: Object in front of lens

I'm sure that was one of those annoying stickers you used to find when your prints came back from the chemist. 'Object in front of lens'. Usually a big pink fuzzy finger. Who ever thought those stickers were a good idea? 'Object in front of lens'. No sh*t. Really? ; 'Subject blurred'. Wow, I'd never have guessed. Whatever next? Anyway, there IS an object in front of the lens here. It's a Rollei bay 1 orange filter, in case you couldn't tell. Not quite over the lens as it happens. I like the effect. Looks like a proper snapshot. A proper Polaroid, warts and all. Ah well. It won't happen again 'cos I just won a Polaroid 'Cloud Filter' set on e*ay. A cool little kit that includes one filter for the lens and another for the 'electronic eye'. Here's another version with the filter held on with Sellotape.
