Actually JJ, I did use a 'filter'. When I saw this scene I was wearing my sunglasses, through which I love the color casts it gives. I showed it to mrs. joe and she suggested trying to cover the lens of my Holga with my sunglasses. This was the result, although as jujueye pointed out, the field of view was a bit to wide for the sunglasses. Probably something I can doctor up in PS.

The technique involved taking vaseline and putting it on the lens then wiping it off in a circular motion with a soft tissue. The idea was to leave graduating amounts of vaseline as one worked towards the edge of the lens so there was virtually none in the center and just a bit on the outer edges. What was left gave a similar effect to what you've done here.

Yeah man, the thought of carrying that crap in the field and accidently getting it on more of my gear than I want to makes me shudder as well. Thankfully, there are diffused filters made now with a clear center spot that are much nicer to work with.
