Forgotten
The Response: A Lens that Seldom Sees the Light of Day — Cheryl
Most days, it seems as though I’ve forgotten that I own a Lensbaby. I seldom take it out of my bag and attach it to my camera, because I have seldom gotten a shot with it that makes me happy. I look with envy at Lensbaby photos taken by others, but when I do dig out my Composer Pro with Sweet 35 optic, I’m always hopeful that I’ll get something great. I attached the shift-able lens to my E5 last night and got some decent shots. I told myself that I’d leave it on my camera all day today, and I’m glad I did, for I had also almost forgotten that a Lensbaby can be used for portraits of people and animals, not just for photos of flowers, trees, and leaves.
It comes and goes doesn’t it? Sometimes I’m on fire with the LB and then other times, it’s just “meh.” It does great with people and pets too — but I have a much harder time with them because I can’t focus manually fast enough. My people and pets won’t sit still long enough. ; )
