Soft focus
Hazy and lacking in distinct definition throughout the entire image. Images can be "soft" either because of a fault in the lens or because the photographer chose to make them that way in order to give the image a more romantic "glow." It is possible to accomplish this effect within the camera by either shooting through a piece of translucent material or by putting a soft-focus or diffuser filter to the lens (for example, a section cut out from a pair of tights). Utilizing post-capture software on a computer makes the addition of it a breeze as well.
