    @izash Looks great. Well done.

    Nice. So where actually and how you attach the fishing line to the lens? Could you post pic?

  • jazzroyjazzroy

    yes, how did you do that? I used to fake flares with a fish line on a filter, not on the back of the lens!

  • izashizash

    Thanks @jazzroy @tonalt @matt_gh2 I experimented with attaching the line to the filter thread but I got the best results by attaching it to the inside of the lens adaptor with some gaffer's tape. Photo attached. It works best with my FD 35mm/2.0 and the Kiron FD 28mm/2.0. No flares with the Canon FD 50mm/1.4. I painted the fishing line with a cyan felt marker.

    jajaja @izash that's an excellent idea, I'm sure I'll be trying this, so thank U
    and BTW nice little film, loved the theme, very clever use of Jaws "mood music" - though Stravinsky ate John Williams for breakfast - with the fishing line idea and all ;-)

    Thank you @maxr.
    I'm on an fascinating musical journey, getting to know the masters of 20th century modern music.
