Lensbaby Project {January}

We have been enjoying the beautiful weather here in Arizona.. These are some shots that I took at the dog park. I haven’t had my camera out as much as usual so I was a little rusty with my Edge 80. Trying to nail focus with moving dogs was a bit challenging.

Lensbaby Project {October}

I’ve been busy shooting this month and It’s all about the Lensbaby Edge 80. I purchased this lens at the beginning of the month and I completely love it. My poor Sweet 35 has been neglected and is collecting dust!  The Edge 80 definitely has its own learning curve, but I’m starting to get the hang of it.  Not sure which lens I like better..They both have their unique characteristics that make shooting so much fun!

Schnepf Farms…

Took a trip out to Schnepf farms the other day… I love that place!! We loved to take the kids there in October during their Halloween and Chili Party. Lots of special memories!! It’s changed quite a bit and it’s growing with new fun things for the kids to do. These are some shots I took while we were there..

LensBaby Project {September}

Wow..It’s hard to believe it’s the end of September and it’s time for another post. The months are flying by!! I’ve been diligent about shooting with my Lensbaby and I’m becoming much more comfortable with it. In fact, I’ve been using it so much that I almost forgot how to use my auto focus when I put another lens on my camera the other day. I couldn’t figure out why my camera wouldn’t focus…It was because I forgot to move my focus point..Duh!!

Here are some of my recent favorites… By the way, I’ve started watermarking my pictures and I was trying out different sizes. I think the smaller version works the best! 🙂

Negative Space

I was going through some boxes and found my son’s old Buzz Lightyear, so I thought I would use him for this month’s theme. I tried to get a picture of him flying, but everything I tried didn’t work. I guess it wasn’t meant to be! 🙂

Game Day…

Today was the first day of my son’s fall baseball season. Nate had to pitch, which is not his favorite thing to do. He would rather catch than pitch any day, but he did a great job!!

 

This cute little puppy was at the game and I couldn’t resist taking a picture.

Change…

This month’s theme was a challenge for me. I had a hard time coming up with something, so I took some loose change out of the junk drawer, and started shooting. I used my LensBaby Composer Pro with the Sweet 35 optic and macro converter.

Math Homework…{Lifestyle}

I’ve been wanting to try lifestyle photography so I pulled out my camera while helping Nate with his homework tonight. Of course, I used my LensBaby Composer Pro with the Sweet 35 optic. I kind of like the way they turned out. Nate was a trooper and let me play while he worked.

LensBaby Macro Converter…

I bought the macro converter for my LensBaby and I’m having fun with it. This is a shot of a hydrangea plant I had. I love the combination of getting a macro shot with the LensBaby blur.
