We had some sun today and I have been anxious to take my lensbaby lens outside for some shots in the sun. This is some tall grass in the garden that should have been cut last fall, LOL! The grass itself was in the shade.
aperture f/4.0
ISO 100
shutter speed 1/400
I think the lensbaby is equivalent to a 50mm

I'm thinking I was about 2 ft away. The lensbaby is a tilt-shift lens. It is purely manual and I think I was a little too close and was just barely getting it to focus. It is also purely manual. So it doesn't record all the settings. I have to change the aperture disk by hand.

I like the fragile wispy look of the grass and with part of it blurred, it looks like it's blowing in the wind. Pretty yellow sun too - lucky you to get some nice weather!

Very cool effect from the lensbaby! Isn't it nice to see the sun, if only for a bit? I think this doesn't fully shows off how neat the lensbaby effect is because of the sky as the background, but I do love the angle. If there were just a little bit more of the grass in focus maybe it would be a little better, but still, its a very nice effect. I love grasses, they are just so pretty, nature's lace sort of.

I think you did a nice job with the lensbaby. Like Sand said just a bit more of the grass but other than that you did a great job. One thing I do is keep a small notebook and write down my settings for each shot, just in case. It doesn't take long to do and it has come in handy at times. But, overall you did a great job!

I have looked into the lensbaby, but wasn't sure if I would like it. You'll have to keep me updated on your progress with the lens. I like the composition, and agree, that maybe just a bit more of the grass would have been better, but you did have some beautiful lighting as reflected in the sky.
