As is typical of me, Ruby Dog is my go to model when trying a new lens.

I shot this today with an old Canon Rebel and a $24.99 plastic Holga lens to prove that it's not about what gear you have, it's about how you use it. I know the focus is soft, it's a trait of this lens, but any CC is welcome.

This little guy wanted to see what I was using to take photos of him!

I've been trying out the macro lens on macro stuff so far. I therefore thought it was time to try its portrait capabilities. As is usual, Ruby Dog is my victim, I mean model.

Savannah had rummaged through my prop bag only to find my 55-200mm Nikkor lens. She was mimicking my actions! Such a fun and curious toddler!

Spots of light shine in on us,
We reflect
Our self
Fall of sunshine, light of day
We reflect
Upon ourselves

Same shot, same settings (close as can be with a creative aperature)
Different lenses indeed.
LB 2.0 and Canon EF 55-250mm with a polarized UV filter
The lensbaby tends to warm things, at least as far as I have noticed a shot will always be a little warmer with my LB.
There is no zoom, so naturally that affects composition. And of course the tilt, which comes from the selective focus and the bokeh as it looks is because of my aperture disc which looks like a twinkling star with some dots around it. imagine a + symbol with no center and a dot in each angle and that's pretty close. The interchangeable apertures are one of the tings that makes LB so creative!

Fallen soldiers,
scattered seeds,
Resting helpless, Green; green leaves,
The dew does cling, indiscriminate.

Dead flowers, lensbaby 2.0
Right out of camera. WOW!

This is a flower box that I made out of an old bird house, I have an frosty wine bottle for watering. This picture was taken through a magnify glass of a flower as the sun was setting so it was shinning on the bottle.
