Lensbaby Edge80 & Composer Pro II
My latest Lensbaby purchase is a very versatile lens, it too won my heart in a short time. Thanks to the possibility of setting it to macro, I first tried it with my flowers: I wanted to start from my comfort zone, to speed up the practice. Its focusing effects are perfect for my flower photography genre. I had to get used to its variable focus (not just central), a possibility you have with Composer, rotating and tilting. You have many variables and I had fun trying it out and seeing the results. I practically left this lens on the camera during the whole summer, also using it for landscapes and portraits. I love photographing children and after a long time, I had the opportunity again this summer, thanks to friends and family. I chose to use only the Edge80 ... what can I say? The results are ... WOW! The play of the blurs is unique and in my opinion very, very child-friendly with its 'sprint' and at the same time 'sweet' effects.
And the landscapes? I would like to preface this by saying that it is not a genre that is "in my league", I have used this lens during my walks in the mountains, in the woods but not in the plains. I like the results, but I still need to use it to write more.
However, there are photographers I admire who also use this lens for landscapes: browse through their profiles to get an idea.
Also go and read the blogs on the Lensbaby website, where you can find lots of photographic inspiration for all their products.
