Instead of developing some film, I decided to take a piece of clear tape, cover the lens on my web cam and then color over it with black sharpie. Surprisingly, this technique worked very well even in direct light. It’s not perfect but maybe this will help someone…

With black sharpie you just mean a permanent marker, isn’t it? If so, I will try it tomorrow
