Spotty berries

Guess I’ve figured out what the new Lensbaby’s soft focus aperture discs do. Weird spotty bokeh!

Basically, I dropped a small round piece of cardboard with lots of little holes in it behind the lens.

Springing into life

Spring has finally sprung! Well, sort of. There are a few buds and blossoms scattered about the area, and Jenn and I went on a hunt around Cornell Plantations last week to find some.

Taking the shallow depth of field obsession to abstraction.

Losing focus

I recently spent a very cold wintry day roaming around outdoors like a nutter. Unsurprisingly, many cold, stark images emerged as a result, and I thought I’d bring one out to commemorate today’s dismal, dreary, wet weather. Hooray!

(Don’t worry, tomorrow you’ll get a cheesy, cheery naturey shot involving lots of beautiful bokeh.)
