   Hello Dyxum friends,

This is the fourth Dyxum Photographic Assignment, the topic is Softness

The general rules can be found at here.

now, here is your task!

You will shoot a soft picture. 

By 'soft' the following are meant: motion blur, misfocus, strange optical filters, shooting through dirty glass etc.

You will shoot your main subject 'soft' intentionally. With this you will aim to deliver an emotional impact higher than a sharp copy of the same shot would deliver. Your photo must be convincing with the emotions added by softness. Blurring your image at post-processing stage is strictly prohibitied. The softness must be achieved in camera. Other than that, you are free to use any type of PP.

If you are taking the misfocus route, i suggest you to turn off your AF, otherwise you'll have hard times with 'correctly misfocusing'.

Happy shootings:)

From this point those taking part in our Assignments can choose their own sequence of completion, but a pass in your "current" assignment is needed before moving to your next choice.

NOTE: If you want to set yourself a personal challenge, you can still do them in the numbered order -- the prizemoney 

does not increase, but the satisfaction when finished will be greater.
