How to achieve this? Dioptry lens deformation?

[vincent_thomas1]

<p>Hello all :)</p>

<p>Im trying to achieve this kind of deformation look... Anyone know where i could get such filter or handmade glass to stick on my less to get this kind of deformation please?</p>

<p>I would experiment with Vaseline on a clear filter. I've seen very similar results using this approach.</p>

<p>Might try using the blur tool on the area/section you want, that would achieve this look. :)</p>

<p>Best Regards,<br>

<p>Vaseline is so messy to clean off. Use something water soluble like KY lubricant.</p>

<p>Vincent, you can post a LINK to the photo, and that will show people what you're talking about</p>

I would off course like the deformation to happen during shooting, not in post production as someone mentioned using the blur tool...<br>

(i shoot still and video...)<br>

<p>Skip the filter threads, and attach a close-up lens with masking tape, in such a way that the close-up lens is tilted. They sell LensBabies for this, but they are pretty expensive for what they are, in my opinion.</p>

<p>Thanks all for your suggestions!<br>

Michael, what kind close-up lens could you attach? I'm a little confused here i must say... Is it something you add on top on your original lens and manage to have it tilted in one way or another?<br>

Thanks<br>

<p>Here is a shot of a Brownie box camera with a close-up lens taped on. With this diopter on this camera, attaching the add-on lens at an angle is not a problem: since the diameters match pretty closely, the diopter can slide around a bit. If I were to try distortions with this set-up, I would roll up a small strip of masking tape to shim one side. Since it is a close-up lens, you lose your infinity focus. This setup captures subject between 40" and 60" away. I carry a tape measure with me.<br>
