 rcroningD700 RocksPremium join:2005-05-21 Winnipeg, MB | Baby in a ditch. Now that I have everyone's attention, this was a personal project that I recently undertook. It involved using a LensBABY with plastic optic and photographing in a ditch. The ditch part of the project was to find beauty in a place that people drive by without a second glance (except of course when they are tossing their coffee cups out the window). The Lensbaby...because I had never used it before, so now was a good time as any.
Below are a few shots that are my personal favourites. Being new to the Lensbaby product, they aren't the best I could get (yet), but are certainly interesting.
So without further ado:

This is my full time close-up lens: »www.dpreview.com/lensreviews/can···usm_c16/
And it makes a very sharp portrait lens too. My Manzanita tree pic was taken with it. -- There are more things in heaven and earth, than are dreamt of in your philosophy. ~ W.S.

 rcroningD700 RocksPremium join:2005-05-21 Winnipeg, MB | reply to rcroning Thanks! I have a few accessories on order for the Lensbaby. Still playing with it. Portraits are quite "different". Trying to get used to getting the sweet spot where I like. |

I really wish that I had considering your results...which is not to say that anything I would have garnered would have been anywhere as good. I really like the results you got! I love the varied sort of image you can get and that you did get. Way to go and I look forward to seeing more of what you capture and how. |

 rcroningD700 RocksPremium join:2005-05-21 Winnipeg, MB | reply to rcroning Oh....that's too bad. Is it a camera weight issue? Not being nosy so you don't have to answer that one. |
