Playing with my Lensbaby...

Taken with the composer pro and edge 80 optic..

My fav is the second. The OOF part lends to the idea of something intangible, yet identifiable.

Any particular reason you decided to use religious symbols with the Lensbaby?

I also have the composer pro with 80 edge. Haven't used it that much yet, but I plan on it!

Thanks for the feedback.. I had a few lenses with me the day I took these, but I thought the Lensbaby would give me the effect I wanted, which was moody and mysterious. I love my LB and use it all the time. I also have the Sweet 35 and the soft focus optic, but the edge 80 is my favorite.

The last one has that feel to it.

The last one feels like the most technically proficient use of the lens, and is my favorite aesthetically as well. It isn't over the top tilt effect, it isn't gimmicky, and it's actually helping to draw attention where you want it, etc.

Don't forget to also try to use your tilt lens for it's opposite (and more traditional tilt photography) purpose: Bringing MORE stuff into focus than you normally could by lining up the plane of focus parallel with stuff not perpendicular. And my favorite tilt photos are when people throw a whole area INTO focus that wouldn't normally be, while ALSO leaving thematically less important areas in dramatically less focus than they would normally be. I.e. using both functions of tilt in harmony.
