Swirl by orangecrush

Swirl

This is my abstract shot for the One Night Stand Too challenge. What better time to play with shaped bokeh then an abstract shot! I put a little swirl on the end of my Lensbaby and shot some wet grass! Voila!
This challenge has been a lot of fun! http://365project.org/discuss/general/14432/one-night-stand-too
Love the swirls Jerry - very creative!

Love this, would make a fantastic abstract hanging on the wall!
September 29th, 2012  
Cool!!!!!!
September 29th, 2012  
I love that one yellow swirl in there Jerry. Now how did you do that?
September 29th, 2012  
very cool! I love it!
September 29th, 2012  
Even after your description I have no idea how you did this! Looks like fun though.

@lwain @kiwichick Thanks guys! You cut a small shape out of some card stock or stiff paper and cover the end of your lens with it. What ever bokeh you create with your shot, the bokeh will be the same shape as the hole. Fun!

Great technique and outcome. Was looking at lensbabies today
September 29th, 2012  
@peterdegraaff There a lot of fun! Mine doesn't get a lot of use though!
September 29th, 2012  
Very awesome Jerry! You guys and your lens babies; just a quick switch of the aperture ring and you're in business! Fantastic result! Fave!

Gorgeous swirl... and for that, a fav!
September 29th, 2012  
now i will have to find out what a lensbaby is.
i like the photo though
good job.
September 29th, 2012  
That is so clever and so original. Fav. I have no idea what a lens baby is but will definitely be trying to find out xx

@glendq @psychographer You've gotta check them out! Go to lensbaby.com and check out the galleries! I have a compressor.
September 29th, 2012  
@orangecrush Thanks, I'll be doing that later. It's before 8am over here. I'm desperately trying to catch up on commenting prior to getting my final assignment for this module outta the way and then I get 3 months of studying...HOORAY!! I'll treat myself to checking it out once I've finished :o) xx

September 29th, 2012

Very cool, keep meaning to try my bokeh kit and never get round to it!
September 29th, 2012  
Genius idea that works for an original bokeh shot.
September 29th, 2012  
This is just superb Jerry! FAV : )

Love the swirl bokeh. Must give it a try, lol, I predict after all the comments we might all be seeing some shaped bokeh in our futures.
September 29th, 2012  
Wow this is so cool Jerry! :)
September 29th, 2012

Nice abstract, like the effect
September 29th, 2012  
Beautiful
September 29th, 2012  
Looks magical - a bit like fairy dust :)!
September 29th, 2012  
You just got me stuck on the lensbaby site for about half an hour! Don't use yours much? Was it worth the money? Fun to play with? Should Santa bring me one?
September 29th, 2012  
This is very pretty- it reminds me of a painting by Monet!
September 29th, 2012  
I've never seen something like this done before, really cool!
September 29th, 2012  
Cool!
September 29th, 2012  
Cool shot, Jerry
September 29th, 2012  
@shutterbugger Lol! I don't use mine much but I don't know why! Every time I break it out I love it! Now they have so many accessories for it too! They have a plastic lens that snaps on to give a vintage toy effect! Cool! Depending on generous Santa is this year...well worth it!
September 29th, 2012  
Nicely done!
September 29th, 2012  
wonderful effect!
September 29th, 2012  
This is my first time seeing an effect like this! Incredible results!
September 29th, 2012  
great shot Jerry - love the effect with the Lensbaby! Got a great feel to this!
September 29th, 2012  
Excellent result! Looks like you had lots of fun!
September 29th, 2012
