Riley watching Thomas the Train videos on YouTube in my office. This was really just a test of setting my camera to the smallest jpg quality. Do you know I could shoot 900+ shots on a single 2GB CF card at that quality? :) Too bad I am a RAW addict. :/
was in the photo domino game and clicked on our birds flying pic .. and noticed it was in your lensbaby album ..
so i had a look .. this one stood out as something quite precious ..
and sheesh .. 13 years ago ..
The quality adds to the pic, as Ubique stated it has a nice film b&w feel to it. I love how his eye is the only thing sharp and everything else just smooths out of focus. Where are the other 899 shots?
This boy photographs well, don't he? I don't mind the parsimonious file quality setting ... there are a great many photographs that would be much improved by a little less fidelity. This one has a lovely B&W film look done this way. Kinda arty, Art.
Julianne's right ... this is a very fine use of a LB for portraiture, especially at F/2.0 ... it's the kind of sympathetic touch usually seen from rkt (and she's been known to embrace a little less fidelity as well).
Well, I eat my words. You have proved that Lensbaby is great for people. (This must be your little artist.) This is a marvelous capture. I can see those eyes sucking up information and directing it straight to the processing center.
