Wow... that portfolio makes me realize.... AARgh, I suck. I recently got a Lensbaby, and have been having a fun time with it, but nothing spectacular. Yet. I hope.
Another reason for LB: it's faster than screwing around in pshop until you get the look you're going after.
Plus, it's fun to watch people get a funny look on their face when they see your lens moving around sideways like some droopy muppet appendage.
I like the stuff in the KRAS gallery, but I believe there are a lot of composite images there and a lot of extra things beyond the original, which is fine, but it's not documented in his stuff...
possibly not the best place for a lensbaby, in a challenge - but it was new, and i was having fun. i took over 30 shots of this trunk, and 1 had the focus in the right place. takes a lot of getting used to...
o, and i did get quite a lot of comments in the 'would be nice if it was n focus' vein.
I loved your shot. I have seen some stunning lensbaby shots but I guess you love 'em or hate 'em. I'd have to say I love 'em! On my list of things to get for my new 'baby' when I get it. Hoping to get a D50 very soon...
PS I just saw the title of your green entry, LMAO. My friend and I thought of that immediately when we saw the upcoming challenge topic. Good 'ole 'Bladder' :-)
Don't buy the macro kit just yet. You may be better off with extension tubes that you can use with other lenses as well. I haven't had the chance to test mine yet but I intend to do it this weekend.
