Lensbaby Love Sweet Optic 35

Many of you know I am a big fan of the Lensbaby system. I have the Composer and recently got the new, Sweet Optic 35. It is the first optic in the line of Lensbaby gear that has the aperture in the optic itself that can be changed by simply rotating the optic.

I thank and blame Doug and Roxanne for my latest purchase…once I saw what this optic could do, I had to have it! View their amazing images at http://www.dougplusrox.com

There is nothing better than the first real voyage with a new lens or optic–unless of course, a new camera!!

University of California at Davis has a small Arboretum that runs along a little creek–there were flowers just waiting to be photographed.

These images were with the aperture at 5.6.

One of the advantages of the Composer is the ability to have part of your image in focus–The “Sweet Spot” and other areas with a bit or a lot of blur.

Did find this to be a favorite with Poppies. They are so rich this time of year in California…here are a few views…

No Flowers were picked!

Love the Blur!

Also fun to celebrate the abstract nature of the blur…

Abstract Pine

Couldnt resist--they were eye level!

A majestic Oak Tree..

Looking forward to more shooting with this optic!

Should probably warn you…am on the list for the new Composer Pro–so, yes more Lensbaby Joy to come!!

Happy Spring to you and yours:)

Awesome as always. I especially liked the daisies or whatever they were–the one with the one clear daisy and the others in “soft” focus.
