Some Minolta cameras, from the "i" series up to the "si" series, used a system of expansion cards which gave the camera some additional capabilities. The sole function of the fantasy card was to change the focus during the exposure, giving you a soft focus effect. Fun but unpredictable

Glad you like the pic

Nice image that made good use of your camera features. I guess in this day and age one could quickly achieve the same effect in Photoshop, but then some might raise the "image manipulation" flag

Splendid, I like the dream like quality of this image. As for image manipulation, we do that every time we trip a shutter. I have no problem with post processing work. It's all in bringing the artists vision in to focus. (so to speak).

Anthony
