Remember Penthouse photos?

Lol WTF.. Why is everything so blurry?? Was this some sort of ancient forgotten Instagram filter technology? Is it Possible??

Still better than the Sears 1988 Winter catalog that helped me go through puberty

Lol for real. Was everyone on too much coke that this looked good?

 

[minute bull]

I'll never forget them.

 

[minute bull]

Never.

I can't tell where boob ends and where wall starts

That Pentouse photographers were time travellers from another dimension? And that they would later take their secret technology to Instagram

I remember looking at the brunette's bush in penthouse. She was awesome.

My theory is that with the lack of image stabilization technology, the camera guy yanking his crank was blurring all the photos.

If you look closely its not actually "blurry", the images arent lacking in detail in the parts that are in focus. What your seeing is actually spherical aberration in the lens were contrast lowers and bright areas tend bleed into those around them, look at the way the light behind the model/statue bleeds over the edges of them,

That kind of effect was original a fault in large aperture camera lenses but when the look became in fashion during the 70's they started creating lenses that would allow you to play it up.

I'v actually got a Nikon 105mm F/2 Defocus Control lens from the early 90's and if you wack that aspect up to maximum you get images like this....

The alternative could be using a lens filter or just putting vaseline on the lens although results there are a bit less predictable.

Vaseline was applied to a lens filter for the effect.

There's some dimey dimes in there. And some that look like they need to go back to highschool

Who's the honey in the Harley crop top? Ya boy needs to do some research.

 

[Provocateur]

Well I am not 70 years old so I remember much higher quality ones than that.

Maybe. Or maybe is it a long forgotten technology taught to us by the sun gods??

Cheesecloth. They used it liberally for Margot Kidder.

Maybe they should have picked canvas.
