Lensbabies Photo

Recently I came upon an opportunity to add a Lensbabies lens to my assorted collection of lenses for our Nikon D70, and started taking some pictures. Frankly, using the lensbabies lens turned out to be a bit more difficult than I thought, and I am still trying to figure it out. But here is one example of what can be accomplished. Some of the problems I am encountering are...
  • No metering. Have to guess the right exposure. This is a problem with D70, but not with some other Nikons such as D200

  • Hard on the eyes, as focusing is manual and then you have to move the bellows to make it unfocused in the area you want.

  • No on camera flash - or at least I haven't figured it out yet.

Still, not bad for a first try with this lens. I have seen the lensbabies pictures on Flickr and pBase, and have been impressed by them, so I think its a matter of time before I'll start taking some good ones! Or at least I am hoping I will!

Amazingly, that day now seems near!!




Last year, I sent a note out to my close friends asking them if any one would like to join me on my dream trip.  I received one response - enquiring just how difficult the trip might be, but beyond that, nothing.  Clearly, rafting down Grand Canyon is not every body's cup of tea.

But one can't be deterred by lack of enthusiasm of others!!  This bucket list is mine, and so I should take the o…
