See In A New Way
"See in a new way" is Lensbaby's mantra, which I completely endorse. They produce great lenses to capture the dreamy and creative side of life. I am so eager to use my Lensbaby lenses to photograph spring flowers, but Saturday the weather was rainy. As a compromise, I decided to take only my iPhone and my Lensbaby mobile lenses to see what I could do.
The system is easy to use. Just slip the casing over the phone and attach one of the lenses. They are light, so I carried the extra one in my pocket. The LM-20 produces a large sweet spot of focus surrounded by blur. I processed this in Lightroom and added a soft texture to the border to give it more grain.
I found, however, that I enjoyed using the LM-30. It takes a sharp, clear circular image surrounded by repeated reflections. I liked this swirl of green.
And this mailbox never looked better!
I love taking photos of flowers and this daffodil bed certainly is a signal that spring is almost here. After taking this image with the LM-30, I processed it in Lightroom adding a texture to soften the border flowers.
As I walked around the hill, I played with taking photos of signs. Rhinestone Rosie is a fun store, and I think the LM-30 made the sign even more brilliant.
And how about a cupcake?
