New lens, baby

Actually, it's a lensbaby 2.0 :mrgreen: and I just got it last night. Here is one one of the first shots I took with it of a hill near my house. This is straight out of the camera..

Cool! I thought about buying one for the last few years.

I say do it, they seem like a lot of fun. This one came up cheap second hand so there was no excuse not to buy it really.

Beautiful! My uncle is visiting NZ in a few months. Looks great.

whoa does the lens give that strange blur effect around it? Why is it called a lensbaby =S Seems really neat though, how much was it?

Yeah the 'lensbaby' is like a cheap version of a tilt-shift lens, it lets you put selective focusing on the images (bascially blurs everything except one part). I paid the equivalent of about US$50 for it.

thebeatles: thanks, I liked it too! I like how it makes landscpaes look like a miniature model.
