Lensbaby Macro

Lensbaby Macro

Few are those who see with their own eyes and feel with their own hearts. ~ Albert Einstein

I spent a few hours playing with the Lensbaby and its macro attachment. I have a frosted glass inset in my work table, a great purchase I found at Ikea for less than $90 dollars. I clamped a light under the desk, and experimented with lighting directed from underneath objects.

This heart abstract is a part of a glass paperweight that has several concentric heart figures imbedded in it. This is one of the photos from my first experiment session. There will be more, as I enjoyed playing with this idea. It’s a great photo project when I’m not in the mood for an outdoor shoot.

    OK Bo, I not going to go into detail where my dirty old man mind took me with this image. Suffice it to say I saw the background as skin… And I’ll stop there.

    I trust you are having fun with the Lensbaby. I have the macro kit, the fisheye and the soft focus optics. Lots of fun.

    I can see where that would suggest a whole lot of ideas. Experimenting is fun, isn’t it!
