Tricky, Tricky

| September 9, 2008 7:24 pm

My first full day with the LensBaby.  It’s trickier to use than I expected; well I take that back the operation is really simple: point, squeeze, focus and shoot.  But the tricky part is getting the focus where you want it and controlling the blur.  In today’s effort I didn’t get the blur and smooth as I would have liked. 

I also learned something else about this lens that I’ll share in my next photo (hopefully tomorrow; if I can find the right vantage point).

A New Toy

I bought a Lens Baby today :-) ! Now I’ve used (and owned) a T/S lens or two in my time but this little chunk of plastic and rubber is really cool.  I’m acutally on assignment this week (shooting a soon to be released automobile; I’ll share some out-takes when my NDA expires) but in my spare time I’ll be experimenting with the Lens Baby and sharing what works (and doesn’t).

A “Happy Meal”

My nieces enjoying a very happy meal.

* A little disclosure: I took this photo 9/6/08 @15:51 so that is the time I used for the post
