I’ve been beta testing a new Lensbaby set-up which has super close macro capabilities! Woo!

OK, the Lensbaby fisheye is MUY FUN! The moveability (mobilty?) of the entire lens means you’re not restricted to the usual full circle fisheye madness and can be creative with partial globes and corners. Combined with special soft focus aperture discs, you can get a nice gradual fade as it curves into darkness.

Still getting used to the simple twist focus of the Composer tho. After years of gripping and manipulation on the Original’s bellows, it feels like cheating!

Guess who got a fisheye attachment!

Sorry there haven’t been many posts recently. We’re undergoing home renovation and I’ve been busy with workmen and mess and all that fun stuff. But I promise to return soon!
