Well I am taking a break from taxes to post the shots I took in between breaks in work. I am thankful for the theme in this round given the chaos going on right now. Fun to shoot and no PP involvement to keep things easy.
Anyway I have a bunch here, pinholes, Neosporin smears (no Vaseline handy)
cut glass lens.
Here goes
1 Pinhole shadow

    I rotated the 1 shadow from vertical to horizontal I know that is not in the rules but I can possibly do a reshoot

    I have a bunch more in the gallery if anyone is up to it

    You have been having too much fun!

    I like the pinhole shadow better vertical.

    I also really like the mountaintop with the clouds and the two of the fenceline with the repeating filter.

    Yes I have been traveling a lot, almost too much to choose from but it is giving me a lot of variety.
    It is a lot of fun getting out of the box and hard at the same time to think it does not have to sharp and in focus. Have filled 12 GB of cards with ewperimentation.

    Of these (and the ones in the gallery) #6 SF smeared. The alternative in the gallery is interesting but not as good as #6 imo.

    Really neat stuff!! My fav is #6 (San Fran smeared). Outstanding execution and a lovely photograph.

    Also like #8 (art cut glass) for a possible entry.

    Thank you all for the feedback.
    I have another variation of the smear technique to try and will be back in the Bay area this week. Going to go for a reshoot of SF. Maybe luck out and get a good sunset to go with it.

    Great series of choices here!
    My favorite is pinhole tractor.

    Can't wait to see your redo of San Francisco Smeared.

    My gosh, so many to select from!

    #2 and #6 are especially nice, though there is something about #9 that makes it my favorite.

    I like best #6 and #8, but I think #8 is a piece of art!

    Although the comps don't strike me, for me personally, I think you nailed it with images 2, 3, 4. These are exactly what I reference in my mind when I think lo-fi. slightly soft, underexposed, saturated images. VERY NICE!!!!!
