Flash or Red No 3

With a new lens comes more learning. I thought to pull out my Lensbaby book but low and behold my lens isn't in this edition but who cares. One of the mottoes of this company and its lenses is "Photography is an expression of your soul".
I am wanting very much to buy my first Lensbaby. Not sure which one to start with as I know there is a steep learning curve. You nailed this shot!

I'd love to have a lens baby, too! I love how you have it composed and the words are sharp and clear through the glasses!

And that’s pretty much how I feel about. I mostly aim for images that show my vision more than ones that accurately reflect reality.
Nice image for black and white.

@jernst1779 @jenp Try a used one, the composer pro series is a good place to start since you can buy different optics for it. ( https://lensbaby.com/product/composer-pro-ii-with-sweet-50-optic/ ) the learning curve is just play and play but never expect perfection as with a standard lens. The manual focus does take some getting used to but don't let that stop you. The companies website has many instructional videos too.

@gardencat Perfection is a myth, isn't it, not that I don't try all the time- a glutton for punishment, I suppose :):)

Love your story, you do well with these LB lenses, but don't think they're for me. I have enough trouble with the lenses I have now.

@tstb13 The lenses are so fun. They let imperfection rule.

@dorsethelen Thank you so very kindly for the fav. It is strange how inspiration just sneaks up on us.

@pistache Thank you, very grateful for the fav. I also put a t-shirt from the website on my b-day list. The book is handy, I get inspired by it now and then.

@overalvandaan My cheaters, (reading glasses) help in all sorts of ways :)

@yaorenliu Seeing things in different ways in one of my favorite lessons that I've learned by belonging to this 365 community.

@annied I come and go with them too but when I am in LB mode, I am one happy camper.

@golftragic I like that they allow for imperfection. The manual focus also brings me back to my film days.

@joysabin Fair enough. Mind you, I have quite sufficient imperfection most times anyway.

Cool shot. Works well.
February 4th, 2019  
Neat shot
