Creating A Blurred Soft Look With A Smartphone For 0.1 Cent

With the web sizzling over a new soft focus lens coming soon to a Smartphone near you, out pal Maciej Pietuszynski thought of trying to recreate a similar analog, soft, blurry effect on a budget.

His solution take about 5 seconds of work and about 0.1 cent of materials – it is a two step process:

Step 1 – make a small roll of clear tape. (for best results use clear Tesa Tape ;)

Step 2 – tape that small roll of tape over the smartphone lens with another piece of tape.

You’re done.
