[QUOTE="Fortkentdad, post: 610954, member: 24285"] [SIZE=4][FONT=georgia][B]The "Early Bloomer"[/B][/FONT][/SIZE] My wife over winters her geraniums and brought up this years crop for the cold dark basement to get them to come back to life, and of that batch one lone plant put out one lone blossom. Looking for a subject to test out my batch of new Lensbaby optics I focused (pardon the pun) on this one 'early bloomer'. Some of these optics can give a sharp image - some are designed to 'embrace the blur'. The last one is the zone-place optic and it is just totally funky. Yesterday was a bit of a swap-fest as I just unwrapped each optic and tried it out to see what it does. Now I need to take them one at a time and learn how to get creative with them. With so much emphasis on pixel peeping sharpness with today's fine optices (I think of my new Sigma Art 50 1.4 for example - tack sharp) it is a total mind altering mental paradigm shift to 'embrace the blur' and 'see things differently'. Yes some of this can be recreated PP with software but I think shooting it this way is more fun. Rather play with my camera than fiddle with photos in software, although there is fun with that too - and these are also touched up p.p too.
