Lensbaby tests
Sorry for the infrequent posts. My internet has been in and out for the past few weeks. I gotta admit though, it’s kind of nice to get away from the web for a while. I’m getting caught up on a lot of work and preparing some new projects. I might have some exciting news by the end of the week so stay tuned!
Here’s a few images from a couple weeks back. I had an awesome opportunity to test out a Lensbaby Composer for the day. I’ve been thinking about picking one up for a while now so when I saw an opportunity to test it out I jumped on it. The lens works on a ball joint that you can rotate with your hand. The idea is that there is a small diameter that stays in focus and everything outside it goes out of focus. Now, a lot of people say “Hey I can do this in Photoshop and it is non destructive to the original image”. That’s true, but to get the exact same effect takes a little more work than you’d think. What I’d REALLY like to see is how this looks while capturing DSLR video. You might get an effect similar to The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (trailer).
I did find some issues with exposure. When you put this lens on your camera you can’t trust your camera’s light meter. I would suggest using an external light meter instead.
