0080127Taking another crack at the Lensbaby,  getting the hang of the focus.. lighting with a wireless strobe for a bit more «pop» in the images.

Play time, new «toy» just arrived - Lensbaby!

0080126One helluva toy! The Lensbaby 2.0 is here. Could not wait to try it out. What a fun lens this is. Will write more about the lens later [some info is posted here]and will definitely post new images... right now it is time to post the first experimental images. I still have to get used to the focus «sweet spot» and the manual handling of the focus and tilt/shift type bellow... for now here is what I got in the first 10 minutes of opening the box.

Lensbaby test 2The blur effect makes these photos look like paintings, the effect is done by tilting the lens up or down - the extent of the blur depending on the f-stop and extent of tilt.
