Bellatrix Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Does anyone own a tilt shift or a lens baby? Im really loving some portraiture work im seeing with these! Could you post some examples of your work and comment on which lenses were used? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carebear Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 i have a lensbaby composer with a double glass optic (the optic that came with it). i love the lens, but don't use it a lot as i'm quite amateur and as i have a nikon, the lensbaby can only be used on manual. i have posted a few pics in the 50mm thread, as the lensbaby's are around 50mm (just over i think) but will see if i can post some of my better ones again here for you. i have asked for some more optics for it for xmas, and am also wanting to buy the scout which has just come out. i decided on the composer over muse and control freak, as control freak seemed too methodical to use and too much time to set up the shot, but i have little hands so the muse would of been hard to squeeze and hold the lens while having to focus manually etc so i went with the composer and haven't regretted it just waiting on iphoto to finish uploading my last canon photo 5 pic and then i'll stick some of flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carebear Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 ok, a sample of ok shots i've managed to take are here but keep in mind i'm not very good and you're better off looking elsewhere if you wana see good shots. some of those pics are exposed wrong coz i had never used manual til i got that lens, and about half those pics were taken in the first month of owning, the other half i took last month.

Bellatrix Posted October 20, 2010 Author Share Posted October 20, 2010 There are some really good effective ones there, CB! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carebear Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 thanks. i've still got a lot to learn, and should use the lens more as it forces me to not use auto. manual scares me though lol i can't remember how i came across the lensbaby lenses. but when i saw pics, i fell in love with it's capabilities and can't wait til i get better there is a lensbaby group on redbubble. it's invite only, but i just messaged the group owner and he joined me up. and the forums on the lensbaby.com website are good too :D lots of knowledgeable people on there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirislin Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 (edited) I dont think I "get" the lensbaby, they mostly make me feel drunk or drugged when I look at photos. I'm not keen on the effect. I do like the tilt shift though. Edited October 20, 2010 by Kirislin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huga Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Most of the shots done with a LB make my head spin.... Oh thank god, I feel the same TS is very popular right now. Some do it well (like Jonas Peterson), some do it not so well (and those ones make me dizzy). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
