It's only a feckin' LENSBABY! by graemestevens

It's only a feckin' LENSBABY!

Hoorah! Hip Hooray! High fives for all! To celebrate my successful escape from the womb my tolerant, understanding and rather spiffingly lovely wifey type person was kind enough to give me a Lensbaby Spark. This is my very first attempt with it, and to the dismay of some on 365 it's also SOOC. I rather like this shot, but any pointers from other Lensbaby users would be welcomed.
Happy Birthday! :) Congrats!

Great shot! I really like it! I cannot offer any advice since I do not have a Lensbaby (but would like one.....)! ;)!
September 4th, 2014  
Yeahhhhh lensbaby! Enjoy it!
September 4th, 2014  
Grat effect! Enjoy your new toy!
September 4th, 2014  
Happy birthday to you... kudos to your totally lovely wife type person! I have no idea about these things, so good luck to you. :)
September 4th, 2014  
You have the best wife in the world. Enjoy.
September 4th, 2014

I have no idea what a lensbaby is but I do like the name! Everytime I see a lensbaby shot it looks blurred and then I want to go and see the eye doctor..........I already wear glasses so panic when things look blurred when I'm wearing them. I look forward to seeing what you capture with the lensbaby, baby!

@jaynspain Thank you very much
@dibzgreasley I know! She spoils me...for some unknown reason...
@andrewkru It'll take some practice but that's where I plan to be heading with it ;)
@hermann Thanks very much :)
@annied Yep, she spoils me. I'm not sure why but who am I to argue?
@gigiflower I used to panic as well but I've come to prefer most of my shots blurry. They seem to look better when they can't be looked at ;)
September 4th, 2014  
@graemestevens oh correct to never argue - just enjoy :)
September 4th, 2014  
@graemestevens @gigiflower you two are both ratbags hahahahaha
September 4th, 2014  
@annied That's my motto - lie back and enjoy it
September 4th, 2014  
@graemestevens and imagination switched off again hahahahaha
September 4th, 2014  
High five ✋, well done on your escape :) what an awesome pressie. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with it.

@annied @graemestevens I will only allow HRH TWAT BOLLOCKS to be so cheeky today given it's his birthday :)
September 4th, 2014  
@gigiflower @graemestevens that is so very kind of you - HRH is very lucky
September 4th, 2014  
@karlow75 Thanks very much - anything could happen!
@annied @gigiflower So back to normal tomorrow then...
September 4th, 2014  
Sam
@graemestevens @annied Yes please HRH. I can't cope with being nice for more than 24 hours. I'm already struggling.....
September 4th, 2014  
@gigiflower @graemestevens yeh too long and she may explode - ooohhhh that is a photo op lol
September 4th, 2014  
Sam
@annied @graemestevens I just used the SKIVVY word on the other post.........I couldn't help myself ;)
September 4th, 2014  
happy birthday again now it is actually your birthday. What a wonderful present. Enjoy.
September 4th, 2014  
@gigiflower @newbank skivvy skivvy skivvy - maybe if he didn't have so many the drawer wouldn't have broken
September 4th, 2014  
Sam
@annied @newbank @graemestevens OMG, that is the FUNNIEST thing I have ever read...........now we know why the drawer broke!!! HAHAHAH, we didn't last 24 hours OOPS!
September 4th, 2014  
@gigiflower @newbank @graemestevens

Great pov. Love it.
September 4th, 2014  
@newbank Thank you very much...you really are the nice one aren't you?
@gigiflower @annied Yes, the drawer broke because it's full to over flowing with skivvies, walk shorts, knee length sock and those sandals with Velcro straps...action sandals...I like to slip into a skivvy/shorts/socks/sandal combo on the weekend and go out collecting pencils which I then mount on a cork board in the lounge, labelled and organised chronologically for ease of reference.
September 4th, 2014  
very nice photo. love the dof and lighting. great little bridge!
September 4th, 2014

September 4th, 2014

September 4th, 2014  
@graemestevens @gigiflower @newbank

September 4th, 2014  
@newbank Yep...sorry about that...
@annied @gigiflower @newbank Ah now...where did I say I LIKED nice?
September 4th, 2014  
@newbank @graemestevens @gigiflower
yes we now know Graeme was a nice little girl but it doesn't mean he likes nice - the story does unfold hahahahahaha
September 4th, 2014  
Sam
@graemestevens @annied @newbank Action SANDALS................oh my! You are fast becoming the man of my dreams with the additional bonus of Velcro sandals, of course worn with socks. I can only hope that you don't cut your toe nails either ;)
September 4th, 2014  
@gigiflower HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
September 4th, 2014  
Oh I have had a Lensbaby Spark for about a year now, so I should be somewhat proficient. Since I have taken it out of it's bag only twice in all that time, I afraid I am not, and therefore are no use!
September 4th, 2014  
Nice shot. Good luck with the lensbaby, I hate and love mine in equal measures.
September 4th, 2014  
Congratulations and enjoy your new baby toy.
September 4th, 2014  
very cool happy birthday
September 4th, 2014  
use only in moderation.... lol
September 4th, 2014  
Very cool, enjoy your new toy, can't wait to see what you create. Must dust my LB out :-)
September 4th, 2014  
Groovy gift. I like @kali66 suggestion above. See, your birthday did get better.
September 4th, 2014  
@gigiflower My toenails are not only thick and long but also a delicate shade of yellow.
@tomtom Well you're no use at all...sigh ;)
@andy3168 Thanks very much - I can see how that would happen...
@anazad511 Thanks very much :)
@pittcj17 Thanks very much :)
@kali66 Oh most definitely...I'll practice a lot but yes, agreed
@roseolivia Thanks - think it's going to take some practice but I'm determined to see what I can push out of it!
@amandal Thanks very much and completely agree ;)
September 4th, 2014  
@kali66 @amandal I agree, use only in moderation.
September 4th, 2014  
@graemestevens @newbank @gigiflower @annied
Crap! it's September 4th here in the states. Does that mean I have to be nice to HRH TODAY TOO? I was nice yesterday, damnit.
September 4th, 2014  
@bill_fe @annied @newbank @gigiflower You never have to nice to me. There's no fun in that
September 4th, 2014  
it surely gives a sense of movement.
September 4th, 2014  
@yaorenliu It does...and it's going to take a lot of practice to get it right!
September 4th, 2014  
Happy Birthday Graeme...hope it was a good one & you the lucky one with a new lens! A whole new world of make believe to practise on......how do lens baby's work with knives & fire I wonder....we will be finding out soon!
September 4th, 2014  
ooh, lucky you, this will be interesting to watch
September 5th, 2014  
@happypat Thanks very much - I'm not sure how it will go with my usual "style" but we may well find out!
@shannejw We live in hope!
September 5th, 2014  
@graemestevens the reason mine didn't last long hahahahaha
September 5th, 2014  
Must self educate. I have seen many references to lensbaby. I thought it was some sort of eyes wide shut type organization. Cool image, nonetheless.
September 5th, 2014  
@bigugly Thanks very much...not sure of the best way to describe the lensbaby...Google is your friend :)
September 5th, 2014  
Very cool! Happy Birthday!
September 5th, 2014  
@tabarlett Thanks and thanks :)
September 5th, 2014  
Isn't that shot a bit cheerful for you Graeme? Love the way you've blurred the foreground.
September 5th, 2014  
PS What's a Lensbaby Spark do?
September 5th, 2014  
@golftragic It is a bit cheerful - the lens baby did the blurry bit for me...I don't know how to explain what it does but it does this sort of thing...
September 5th, 2014  
@graemestevens OK, that's a good enough description for me. Thanks.
September 5th, 2014  
@golftragic you're welcome
September 5th, 2014  
Sue
Sock & sandals, oh please no!!! Happy birthday Graeme, you have been spoiled.
September 5th, 2014  
Lovely shot....Happy Birthday too ^^
September 5th, 2014  
@redpants Thanks very much - and no, I have much more fashion sense than that!
@livvy Thanks very much :)
September 5th, 2014  
Fab image - well done
September 6th, 2014  
@lynnilou Thank you very much :)
September 6th, 2014  
Honestly!? Did I miss this?! Very late with the congratulations, then! :-p Wellcome to the happy crowd!
October 15th, 2014
