2015-12-12b love at first click

I just wanted to share the joy with you all, my dear 365 friends…

s’Chrischchindli (= Christkind, see narrative in today’s main album for explanation http://365project.org/mona65/365/2015-12-12 ) allowed me to make a couple of test shots, before this lens is wrapped by my hubby, who is helping the Christkind too. This will be an extremely happy person, having this gift under the Christmas tree. And the Christkind really knew the deepest wishes of this person. :-)

Such great privileges for a wrapper! What lense is it (if you don't want to ruin the surprise)?

[April]

Fabulous bokeh!

[Lynne]

Wonderful capture.

[MIMI]

How exciting! You are very restrained to be able to use a new lens then wrap it! The anticipation factor will be very high now. Gorgeous shot.

[Jane Pittenger]

How lucky you are. What fun

[Mona]

@vera365 It's a Lensbaby Composer Pro 35. ;-) Ich freue mich sehr darauf!

[PhotoCrazy]

Wonderful pic!

[Tony]

Looks like the lens has done its job. Your contribution to the Christmas atmosphere is amazing.

[Joan Robillard]

Wonderful

[Milanie]

This is really beautiful - if this is just a "test shot" imagine the week after Christmas! I see lots of fun ahead.

[Kate Goring]

Beautiful shot, so much pretty bokeh.

[Melissa Michaud]

Look at that bokeh! A lensbaby will be so much fun to play with, you have major self control to put it under the tree!

[Francoise]

can't wait to see what you do with this.

[Clare Gadsby]

Crikey Mona I am very much hoping that I will have something absolutely identical under the tree!!! But I think I'll have to refrain from trying it out in advance as I might never be able to put it back. Also, I'm not sure it will be love at first click for me, as some people seem to struggle at first. You, however, have nailed it, as I would expect. I look forward to seeing more from you once it's back out of its box :)

[Yeshanghai]

Beautifully captured

[Mona]

@pistache Dear Clare I do hope very much, that your Christkind (or who ever brings the gifts) felt your wish, as mine apparently had. I really liked it from the first click. (Not that these pictures would be worth for keeping) but I liked the effect. I too will need a lot of training, but as I focus most of the time in manual mode this was not so hard for me,... I think I will need to re-think my composing skills,... and be patient with the results.

[Denise Wood]

Beautiful :)

[Nova]

You lucky lucky girl. How exciting to get a sneak peak at your gift. Is he going to wrap it as beautifully as you would? :)

[Mona]

@novab ;-) Yes! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. They are done with so much love and clumsy fingers,... so they are wrapped beautifully for me. And another "yes", I'm lucky indeed.
