Lensbaby Shots - 08-11-2006, 10:42 PM


Could some of the forum members that have the lensbaby, post some shots taken with it. I have seen the ones on the Lensbaby website. But what are some of the members using it for?

Fran posted some shots of her daughter and a Katydid that she used a lens baby in. I'm not at home so I don't have quick access to the link.

Not by TPF members but get the latest CameraArts. It has A New Way of Seeing: The Lensbabies photographs of Jill Enfield, photographs and text by Jill Enfield.

Here is a link, Allen posted in this thread of her work with a Lensbaby.

Here is one that I shot of a senior shoot earlier this year. Lensbabies ended up using it for one of their Ad campaigns



here is one of a bride

LensBaby... a fun little toy. I think only one of my Katydid shots was with the LensBaby, but here are a few from my baby steps with one... while playing in San Miguel...

You've got him pegged. I always call him "Master of the slow movement" as a way of teasing him. He is an excellent hunter and outdoorsman.

Here are a few of ours from various weddings over the last half of the year. We use our LensBabies to lighten up the boring aspects of getting the detailed shots of the events. It really makes the capturing of these alot more fun.

#1 - Detailed shot of the grooms cake


#2 - Detailed shot of the bride and grooms drink of choice for their toast


#3 - Macro shot using the +10 ring of the macro kit you can buy extra of the bride's cake


#4 - Detailed shot of another Groom's cake


#5 - Dancing and moving on the floor, not an easy shot to capture in focus but worth the efforts, plus again it is VERY fun to use.


#6 - Another detailed shot of another bride's cake using the +3 ring of the macro kit
