@Tamara: thanks Tamara. It's an old trick done when I took the photo. I just smear some vaseline around the outer edge of the UV filter on my lens leaving a larger round area in the middle clear of any vaseline. viola !
@SKHallisey: thanks SK !
@alex centrella: thanks Alex, glad you like it.

Oh wow, wow!
At first I thought you had used a lensbaby in this shot, but I see you used the vaseline trick. Clever and fantastic!

@bluechameleon: thanks so much for your kind comments. I didn't know what lensbaby was untiljust now... freaky..... sometimes when I look at things my vision is centered and blurred around the edges..... if you stare at something long enough that happens.... I keep a spare UV filter in its case ready to go ;)

@Pavla: Thanks for your cooments. Taken not far away. Out of Sydney past a place called Wiseman's Ferry near to Webb's Creek. I have loads more from this area on another site if you're keep to take a peek.

Thanks for sharing. Thats a really great idea, and wish I could try that sometime!! Vaseline has yet another purpose! VOTE FOR VASELINE! ;)

@Tamara: I vote you for President of the "Vaseline Appreciation of Different Uses Party". Get up on your soapbox and give good ole "vaso" a go sometime!! If you don't happen to carry a spare jar in your handbag use a lip-balm maybe ;p
