Transitions between distances are not noticable on the lenses. Degressive office glasses One pair of glasses for vision correction across both near and intermediate distance. Mainly designed for indoor use in the office or at home. The transition between distances is not noticable on the lenses.

Bifocal glasses One pair of glasses for vision correction across both near and far distance intermediate distance not included. The upper lens part of the lens is for seeing in the far distance, the bottom part an integrated semi-circle-shaped zone is for nearby. Prescription-free glasses with a blue-light filter Insert powerless eyeglass lenses into your selected frames, equipped with a filter that reduces blue light from computer and mobile phone screens. You can stay right where you're at.

So, this is a DIY class. And I just want to point out that you don't necessarily have to have something this sophisticated. You can even do it with that type of stuff. For here, I've just got us a regular soft box, a flash on a light stand. And I'll just kind of keep it as simple as that for the description. I love soft boxes.

I really, really like soft boxes because they give you a lot of control. You can really control the light and decide where the lights going to be, what the catch light looks like in the subject's eyes. I'm going to stand over here next to you and make sure it's in an appropriate spot. It looks good. Maybe a little higher. And again, just another encouragement to you to try all different types of things, different aperture, shutter speeds, lighting, pens, lipstick.

Okay, turn this one on. Make sure it's on remote, and it is. And this system, turn this on. I'm just going to do a quick light. Sorry, I didn't warn you. Are you okay? We're just going to do a quick test. I have no idea what the lighting is yet.

I haven't done any pre-tests on this. It's all live, folks. All righty. And I'm doing this without the bag just to check lighting. One, two, three. Didn't go, did it? That went. Let's just checked the exposure. We're getting most of the catchlights from the ambient light in the house. So, I want to try to exclude some of the ambient light. And so, I'm just going to go to manual mode. I'm going to reduce my ISO down to And I'm going to set my shutter speed at about a th of a second.

And again just another test, one, two, three. Let's see if that worked. Okay, cool. Dramatically different look and I think I'm okay with the brightness on that. Yeah, it's good enough for Mike work. So, now, it's time to bring in the baggy. We're going to bring in the baggy. Now, this is an interesting quandary, because we want the baggy to provide some, like lens flare type of action. But what do you notice about where the light is, versus where the baggy is going to be?

So, we may not actually get flair in this type of configuration. Let's just see what happens. It came through. All right, it came through. It's a little soft around the edges. That's awesome. I like it. Let's try and mix things up. Let's pull the flash back a little bit, and see if we can get the flash to hit both Renata and the plastic.

One of the issues with pulling the flash back is we lose some of the nice quality of light. That's okay. Pull this over here, so it triggers my remote. All right, experimentation, I love it. Okay, one, two, three. Okay, yeah, we're getting more flare. This is where I want that flare to maybe have a different color associated with it. But you know, white. Try gain.

One, two, three and another one, and one more. And what I'm doing each time is I'm just moving the baggy around like that. Yeah, to be honest. For some reason, I don't care for that look as much. I think the baggy almost becomes too prominent.

So there, I would use some type of pen or glitter or something. Maybe glitter with Vaseline, and then that would all go sparkly. That could be kind of cool. All right, so that's the baggy approach. Kind of fun, kind of cool. Let me show this one now. This one is made with a water bottle.

And again, this is back to the soft focus idea. You can see what I've done here, is I just cut the top of a water bottle off. You have to cut the cap off, and then make sure the water bottle that you use is the right diameter for the lens that you're using. For example, this lens that I have here. And if you're lucky, it'll actually even slide on there, and you can let go. This one is just not quite the right diameter for it, so it falls off.

So, you're going to have to hold it. And when you hold it, I'll show you some of the problems with this. Sometimes when you hold it, your thumb goes kind of in front and gets some weird skin color blurriness in there. But before I take this photo, I want to show you in our presentation notes. I have a photo that I took in the real world using this specific setup. It was a outdoor photo, yeah.

So, this boat. This is in my hometown of Gig Harbor, Gig Harbor, Washington, and I just literally use that lens and this filter, and you can see it created a nice blur around the edges for the old-timey effect. I can imagine this looking really good converted to black and white.

Or maybe even Sepia tone, do that conversion inside of Lightroom, or Photoshop, or using some type of plug in or some type of filter. This also works really good with portraiture. So, let's see how it works with portraiture.

Pull this off. I think for this one, we'll do an ambient light shot and then we'll do another one where we come over here. So, the diameter again matters. You're going to see this. I may have to do another one with the diameter a little bit smaller.

We'll just see how that works out. Make sure I'm still tethered. So, this one I'm going to have to hold with my left hand. And now here's something else to remember, is the lens that I have, when it auto-focuses, the front focusing ring rotates. So when I push this up against here, sometimes it twists, the filter twists.

So, again, it's all DIY, and you're just making this stuff up as you go. So, your mileage may vary. We'll see how this works. Get it framed up first. Oh yeah, I'm set up for my flash photo. Hold on. Okay, here we go. Okay, let's just get a feel for what those look like.

Real similar to the Vaseline or to the petroleum jelly. Very similar. This one especially would work with a colored pen. I think that would be neat. You see some flare coming up in the lower-left. I think that looks kind of cool. Let's go back through a couple of the shots.

You can see as I'm moving the filter around, we're getting a slightly different effect on each one, and none of it is repeatable and that's kind of the fun part. Each of these shots is unique, in and of itself. Okay, let's try this out in maybe an environment more like an outdoor environment.

We'll use this window light and we'll see how that window impacts the flare. So just go ahead and come on over here. Step that way just tiny bit. Too much. Right there. Turn your shoulders towards the light. Nice, and we'll end up looking at the camera. Have you look away. Look at it. No more of those lazy eye photos, I promise. Okay, just a quick test to see what our photo is going to look like without the flare. All right, nice.

All right, now we'll throw the flair on there. Just go ahead and stay there. What I'm noticing is that the hole in this is a little bit small for what I want to accomplish, she's fairly close to the camera now, so I need the hole to be a little bit bigger. So, I'm going to cut this, cut the end off a little bit and make it so my aperture, basically, on the end is a little larger. Always have scissors. Scissors and pocket knives. Scissors are safer than pocket knives.

So, maybe go with scissors and don't run with them. Promise me you won't run with your scissors. In my case, because my front focusing ring rotates, that would be hard to do on this specific lens, but if let's say I did it on this lens, that would be perfect. So, this is a kit lens, and you're right. That would work there. Let me actually show you. I'll take another picture here in a minute. I'll show you why this is hard to do if your water bottle is too small.
