This image was photographed with a Lensbaby Plastic Lens on a digital camera. The soft effect is very similar to the Holga Film Camera. The monochromatic image adds to the nostalgic look.

I am discovering NIK plug-ins for Photoshop and I like the fast controls and effects. This was an Infrared image and I added the IR film look and transfer edges.
