No.

how about WOW

Those are pretty cool, though I must caution that they have all the appearances of the early stages of LBD ("Lensbaby Disorder") , the later stages of which closely resemble the better known LCD ("LOMOgraphic Camera Disease") and HA ("Holga Affliction").

Which lens did you use?

Damn Gary, I thought you had a breakthru with your Garbage Photos. But here you are 'Trashing' what is a obviously a cutting edge Photart series

How can you be so wrong DB...

I am an 'ARTIST'... something you are just gonna have to get used to...
I push boundaries and make people uncomfortable. That is what I do!
I break rules... I post crap shots that shine a light on the darkside of human nature.

Today, yes today... you more than any other should see the Struggle of Man and Woman that permeates this Photart...

The Slovenly Pig looming large in the shadow of Woman...

Wake up and smell the coffee... It's brewing all around you brother

Soak it in... My friend

Ding Ding... we have a winner! LBD it is... Is there somebody that can give lessons on how to use the funky little thing? There are no directions, so I just keep twistin' and pullin' on it! Kinda feels good, but does not look so pretty

It is the legendary Lens Baby II, but I think it used me more than I used it!

That tree branch shot reminds me of a certain someone...

coolness in the oof.

did you find the lensbaby at the reduced price? Price went down and couldn't find it reduced for the k-mount....

Play on! IS that as wild as it gets?

Igilligan · 08-10-2009, 05:42 PM

No, it gets wild... I just dont know how to use it yet. I need lessons.

I took one shot that hurt my eyes so bad in PP that I have been afraid to put it back on the camera...

Do not stare at the focused leaves too long... I can not be responsible for snapping you out of the trance....

metroeloise · 08-10-2009, 06:28 PM

Gus!
That is the best line I have heard in a while... thank you. Might have to tattoo it somewhere.

"Can not be responsible for snapping you out of the trance!"

Does remind me of a carnival mirror. Or friends sometimes!

So this little baby attaches to the body as a lens... When I first thought of it I envisioned it attaching to the lens...

To Continue on that odd note: can you attach a closeup filter to it? Can you use reversing rings and attach it to a lens in reverse? Or a lens to it?

My closeup/macro filter has a size adapter that you squeeze and clip onto a lens. No threads necessary and the filter it self has threads... Just a thought.

The thought of twisted macro work is intriguing....

mikeSF · 08-11-2009, 10:24 AM

wow, that thing is potent. nice images, Gus.
I can't stop staring at that psychedelic bush...i am under its control.

I've got one of those, mine is using me the same way yours is using you.
I looked at this one @ 100% to see if it was worth sharpening.
There was nothing to sharpen.

mel · 08-12-2009, 04:32 AM

Lol. You guys crack me up. They are funky little contraptions. I have one. It reminds me of the penny whistle in that it's the easiest thing in the world to play badly and one of the most difficult to play well. Keep working at it. You'll figure it out. Hopefully. I still haven't totally figured out mine

ME -yes you can get close up filters for them. I have a set for mine. Headaches abound!!

**Ash** · 08-12-2009, 05:04 AM

Dizzying effects there.
Looks like quite an art to create good images with the LB - you're doing well with it already, Gus.
Love at first shot...
