Blossom (lensbaby)

Thought it was about time, I broke out the lensbaby, haven't used it in a while. I personally love them, though many hate them I am slowly building up a lensbaby accessory set, want the wide angle next.



If you are interested, shot Lensbaby Muse with the double glass optic, graduated colour tissue paper pinned to a large reflector with a lamp behind. Off camera flash to right with softbox.

Thanks xx

Thanks xxx

Azz you should try it, but don't expect to slap it on your camera and get the results you want straightaway

It's of labour of love you have to hold your camera completely different , to focus the "sweet spot" and then carefully bend the bellows. Then press the shutter while still holding the lens in position Everything has to be done manually too.


Em, sorry didn't explain very well. Yes,large reflector with no covers on, so fairly transparent and white, then a large piece of tissue paper pinned to it. Behind the reflector is a bare lamp, so some light if filtering through. Positioned behind and to the left of blossom.
