Lensbaby Composer and Creative Aperture Kit…
For those of you that don’t know what a Lensbaby is, it is a fully manual creative selective focus lens with interchangeable aperture disks, there are various flavours of the Lensbaby and several different lens options, each having its own particular quirks, also there are 2 aperture kits that can be used to shape the background specular highlights (points of light) I call this aperture manipulation, other may call it bokeh (background blur) shaping, either way, it is the same thing.
Whilst generally pin sharp images are the goal, the Lensbaby does exactly the opposite, most of the image is blurred with a movable area, with most Lensbabies, of sharp(ish) focus (sweet spot), ok this is not for everyone, but it can be a lot of fun to play with.
So why? Well why not?
