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.
I am a confirmed and certifiable nutbar with a penchant for skulls, bones, blood, guts, fire and anything slightly peculiar and mostly bizarre. I also...
@voiceprintz Thanks very much :) @harbie Thanks very much...I wanted one too, and lo and behold! @mzzhope Yay me! Thanks! @redy4et Thanks very much...I will with some practice :) @rosiekerr Thanks very much...she's a very clever individual with great taste in her chosen husband ;) @spanner I know :) And thanks @ukandie1 Thanks very much :) @maishanny Thanks you very much :)
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 ;)
@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!
@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.
@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 ;)
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!
@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 ;)
@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.
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!
@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...
