LensBaby Composer Trial & Error Pictures - Jacksonville, FL Wedding Photographer

We are leaving for Sweden this week, and I'm getting super excited about it! I wanted to shoot more architectural pictures when we get there, so I went ahead and rented a special kind of lens for the trip from BorrowLenses.com :) It's the LensBaby Composer, and I'm so glad FedEx got to deliver it today. I got the chance to play around with it (though not on architectures), and sure enough, all of the reviews I've read on what a pain to work with this lens are true. It will take lots of practicing before one can truly achieve the desired results. Here are some "sneak peeks" for now, and more to come soon and very soon from this photo-shoot today :)

What do you think of the lens? I'm starting to love it A LOT!

XOXO

Wish List Zapped!

Ask my husband, I have expensive taste.. but don't we all? I've been hinting that all I really want for my birthday (3 days after Christmas) is a tilt shift lens. Call it a trend, but I really love its effect as much as I love what my fisheye lens does for me :) One of my favorite husband-and-wife team photographers, Mark & Candice Brooke, is notorious (in a good way!) for their tilt shift effect. Head over to their website and treat your eyes with "radical images." Anyway, if you go to B&H Photo, you'll find that the lens starts at $1,200.00 and can even go up to $2,500.00!!

Okay, that price tag doesn't fly too well with the hubs but after playing around in PhotoShop...I think I can semi-imitate the look. Oooh, Bobby will be so proud of me that I just saved ourselves $1,200.00+!! ;-)
