i was working a split light - low fill setup, and i was a bit bored with the results, so i grabbed my 20 degree grid and hung it just in front of the lens of my camera. it was close enough to the lens that the camera still autofocused through it, but it caught and diffused light in an interesting way that i liked.
i took this picture with the focus on the grid, just for reference's sake.
i keep looking around the apartment for other things to shoot through. it's harder than it sounds.
