Thanks Todd - always nice to inspire! This works great. I'm very fond, as you know, of blurrifying straight-lined subject matter.
Haven't tried myself on the Coolpix because the IXUS has worked so well and because I thought it would be difficult to get the plastic right on a big lens (the IXUS' diameter is only 10 mm). Well, this proves there's plastification potential in the Coolpix - haha may Nikon's lab be shaken to its foundations!
love the hansi blur plastic fantastic! good job using the technique,Todd...apt title and cool perspective...gives it a sense of motion to my eye...regards,gayle
