lensbaby yeah......

haven't blogged in a while, been a little sick and also been trying to gear myself up for a couple of shoots i have for the next couple of weeks.  have felt really inspired and challenged the past couple of days to step up my game a little, so have been studying a bit more on photography and been learning a little of Lightroom.  i am quite excited about this year, and if things go according to plan i will have more time to do photography properly! yay!  
brought myself a lensbaby the other day for my canon and had been meaning to give it a whirl.  i only bought the cheapest one out there, which retails for about R400 from Exposure (really cool camera shop in the Old Biscuit Mill in Woodstock).  i have been messing around with the lens the past couple of days, and seeing as my hubby wasn't up for being a model, i took a stroll in our garden.  was surprised to find some flowers out there as both of us are neither the gardening type.  but low and behold, here they were and this is what came out.  not the happiest with them and think i need to experiment a little more, especially more with people as that's my passion! :) would like to see what the difference is between this lens and the more expensive lensbaby for the canon.  maybe if i try and find someone who has it i will test it out, but don't think i am going to be using this lens an awful lot.  not bad tho for a R400 purchase! :)




i leave you with a song by yann tiersen, from one of my favourite movies "Amelie".  such a feel good, lazy sunday afternoon chill out song! happy days! :)
