Ever Heard of the Lens Baby?


I was thinking the Lens Baby could be something worth trying out ... but wanted to know if anyone's ever used this lens before.

Shot with the lens baby. Focus Is much softer on the edges of the image. because I centered the focus on the players at the line. It is still soft overall- like I said it takes some getting used to.

Hi Carrie,
I picked up a Lens Baby ... I figured it was worth a try at the price. I bought at the Show at the Javitz Center for around $100. It's pretty cool, but you need to play around with it for a while before you get the hang of it. The focus is controlled by pushing or pulling the lens towards or away from the body, and the area of focus can also be put anywhere on your image since the lens is mounted on a flexible hose.
I think the Lens Baby is worth the buck. I will upload an image that I shot with it. You can see for yourself.
