Lensbaby lenses are a unique series of lenses, available for most camera systems that give a variety of looks and effects. From swirling bokeh to dramatic vignettes, velvety glows to swirly blurs, and often with a bright sharp center, these lenses present a unique style for the user experience.
Lensbaby lenses are also not always the easiest to use or understand and require a lot of practice and fine-tuning. In this workshop, we will be working exclusively with Lensbaby to create a variety of images, from macro and still life and beyond.
We will begin with a demo discussing using Lensbaby, how to appropriately use the lenses, creating setups, and then dive right into individuals photographing their own setups. We will follow up the workshop with an image review the next week to discuss the merits (and pitfalls) in photographing with Lensbaby.
This will be an excellent way to workshop your lens and is recommended for anyone that has struggled with or has questions on Lensbaby!
