wow...that's a fantastic shot, well done.

Nesster · 09-28-2008, 03:15 PM

That is one of the most bizarre, surreal photographs I've seen in a long time. Bravo!

What a shot Duh Vinci! Its like this thing is back millions of years at the start of life. Incredible effect.
thanks

I think it is safe to say that you are whipping everybody's butt with your Lens Baby.

I'm not a huge fan of pink (in fact I actively dislike it) but it's the only color currently available in the yard and I felt like playing with the lensbaby.

**barondla** · 10-04-2008, 12:00 PM

Nice shots everyone. Mel, pink doesn't look so bad!

my shot 3G with 9 exposures.
thanks

Duh_Vinci · 10-04-2008, 01:51 PM

Mike - I wouldn't go that far, but I must admit, I absolutely love that lens, specially in dull days, and when I need a "little" kick in the butt for inspiration

Your photo - very emotional, nicely done and "well bent"

Mel - whether you like pink or not, nicely done, though I'm partial to first one, painting like, love it!

barondla - not seeing your photo

Few more, this time in the sunny day in the forest:

Regards,
D

Nice Lens Baby work D. I'm sticking with the Nokton for now so stop teasing me.

**barondla** · 10-04-2008, 02:37 PM

Picture should be up now. Damn Brit, you know you want a Lens Baby! They are great fun. I will buy a second one when the new ones are more available.
Duh Vinci is definetly giving us lessons in bending.

thanks

Thanks barondela and duh vinci. I'm in Virginia too but your woods look nicer than mine. Nice work to you guys too.

Mike Cash · 10-05-2008, 04:01 AM

Duh Vinci's photos make those without a Lens Baby want one, and makes those with one want to return it as defective since it doens't turn out anything like that.

I will probably be a customer for the Composer version in a year or two. These things really provide a fun change of pace and require a whole different way of looking at scenes.

Oh, you are too kind Sir

The best way to use this lens is use it, use it often, play with light and bend it over and over again, and stunning results such as the photo you just posted are inevitable!

It is very atmospheric! I really like how the lights on the left leading in a zigzag pattern and then upwards to the focal point - the sign, perfect execution, great photo!!!

Sick as a dog, but ventured out to the woods this morning:

Regards,
D

P.S. As for Composer - it is indeed on my "wanted" list, as it appears to be have perfect control for studio/pre-set photography. I will not sell 2.0, as I find it very useful for "extreme" bending (something Composer will not have), and for it's primitive, yet effective "tilt-shift" capabilities I find useful at times. But definitely will buy it in the future. BTW, Composer made to "Top Ten of Photokina" http://www.photographyblog.com/photokina_2008.php
