target practice by northy

target practice

do not adjust your set!

soooooo... i spent a stupid amount of money on dotted purple wrapping paper for the sole purpose of doing some target practice with the lensbaby... this is the sweet35 set at f/2.5 angled up to the left... i do believe there are 5 dots in the corner that are more or less in focus... i also think i now have a slightly better handle on where the focus will be, and indeed, one has to be a bit careful on the crop sensor as if you angle too much the sweet spot does seem to disappear...

i also did this exercise with the edge80 and i think the edge80 is a bit sharper than the sweet35...

anyway, this is all I've got for the lensbaby tonight... hopefully the lessons learned will serve me well when i try to do something more interesting tomorrow...

carry on!
cool experiment

if you wanted something like this you should've just gotten out the grater from the kitchen drawer. :-D you didn't get this at that papyrus store where they sell for $15 what you buy at dollarama for $2.50, did you?

@summerfield it needed to be big so the grater wouldn’t do... it was only about $8 but that seemed a lot all things considered...

@northy - $8??!?!! you could've bought a beaver tail with some toppings on it! tee-hee. but since you aced the focus, it's probably worth it.

Will make a lovely gift wrap.

Clear focus area and out of focus 'lines' leading to it... not only part of an investigation but also a compelling image. Clear Fav! A virtual fav too for bucking the modern trend and using an evidence based approach!

I admire your dedication to the cause. I am sure those dots will come in handy again, so hold on to them. Look forward to seeing the products of your study.

The effect of the focus and out of focus dots is really cool
