Land Below the Wind Few pictures that I fancy on my trip back to Sabah, Land below the wind. The first picture was the site of Mt Kinabalu, the tallest mountain in South East Asia. The second and third are sunset at Tanjung Aru. Just wondering, is the 'lens baby effect' missing in the sunsets? http://lensbaby.com/forum/read.php?8,162773,162773#msg-162773 Wed, 22 May 2013 23:30:24 -0700 Phorum 5.2.8 http://lensbaby.com/forum/read.php?8,162773,162826#msg-162826 Re: Land Below the Wind http://lensbaby.com/forum/read.php?8,162773,162826#msg-162826
I am still struggling to put the sweet spot at other part of the frame. It is especially difficult especially when I want my sweet spot to be on a particular spot, and getting it in focus. And it becomes even tougher if the subject does not have enough lighting: it becomes very difficult to judge whether is my image in focus or not.

Any tips for me?]]> Bazalf Critique My Work Tue, 21 Aug 2012 18:56:33 -0700 http://lensbaby.com/forum/read.php?8,162773,162814#msg-162814 Re: Land Below the Wind http://lensbaby.com/forum/read.php?8,162773,162814#msg-162814 Samurai Photographer Critique My Work Mon, 20 Aug 2012 08:24:17 -0700 http://lensbaby.com/forum/read.php?8,162773,162799#msg-162799 Re: Land Below the Wind http://lensbaby.com/forum/read.php?8,162773,162799#msg-162799
The 'problem' with lens baby is that it takes me a longer time to get everything in focus. And when the others are rushing me, I don't really get all the time needed to compose and recompose always. :(

Here are another two pictures of orchids that I took.
The second picture has wire netting behind it actually. But the blurriness made it disappear. I quite like it.]]> Bazalf Critique My Work Sat, 18 Aug 2012 21:44:45 -0700 http://lensbaby.com/forum/read.php?8,162773,162789#msg-162789 Re: Land Below the Wind http://lensbaby.com/forum/read.php?8,162773,162789#msg-162789

Just wondering, if I were to use a bigger aperture (i.e. smaller sweet spot), where should the spot be placed for the two sunset pictures? The Sun?

That depends on you as the creative artist. Personnaly, if I were composing the second sunset shot, I'd drop the entire frame and adjust the sweetspot to accentuate the furniture group. You have the freedom with your digital camera to compose and recompose at will.

BTW I like the image of the flower. Very nice work.]]> Outback Critique My Work Sat, 18 Aug 2012 09:24:16 -0700 http://lensbaby.com/forum/read.php?8,162773,162788#msg-162788 Re: Land Below the Wind http://lensbaby.com/forum/read.php?8,162773,162788#msg-162788 Body is canon 500D.

I'm guessing that you used one of the smaller aperture discs for those pictures. I've been noticing myself that the smaller the aperture hole, the bigger the 'sweet spot' of focus is, and the less Lensbaby blur you have in the photo.]]> gardencat Critique My Work Fri, 17 Aug 2012 10:18:00 -0700 http://lensbaby.com/forum/read.php?8,162773,162773#msg-162773 Land Below the Wind http://lensbaby.com/forum/read.php?8,162773,162773#msg-162773
