Have you ever purposely used vignetting to your advantage?

Was playing around and put three filters on my 20-35mm, set it at 20mm,
and did a couple shots trying to get something like a keyhole effect.
The film is in being developed, but I'm curious if it'll end up looking
like what I imagine.

Like Colin I have done a soft edge white vignette for some "charm"
shots, but in PS before printing.
I have done some 20mm on B&W + red pol that vignetted and that turned
out okay, but that was luck, not intention.
Cheers,
Alan

Re: Have you ever purposely used vignetting to your advantage?

Yes, but not in the camera, but with afterwork in photoshop. I use
vignetting (or darkening) areas of an image for visual effect, along
with selected lightening to draw the eye to where I want the viewer to look.
Exhibition photography, even at camera club level, requires more than a
straight shot these days.
