Lensbaby

Hi all, new to this forum. I'd been eyeing the Lensbaby for a while and decided to take the jump and go for it just over a week ago. I must say, it takes a little getting used too. I'm using it on my Panasonic GH1 with a nikon adapter so I think it makes the effective focal length 100mm rather than the normal 50mm. I also purchased the zone plate / pinhole optic but certainly need to practice with it more. All in all, it's been a really enjoyable experience and look forward to more experimentation with it.

I'm off to look around the galleries here for some more inspiration.

All the best,

Matt.

looks like you are doing a pretty good job getting the hang of it - really well done and interesting images - my favorite is probably the two trees - love the simplicity and grain - welcome to the forum.

Hi Matt,
Welcome to the forum.
This is a great first set of images - you are obviously getting the hang of it.
Cheers

Great stuff. Love the compositions and B+W treatment. The first two are my favorites but they each have a great mood and character to them.

Interesting series of shots subjected to some moody processing.

Welcome to the forum. :)

Welcome!

I would have to say you've got the hang of it! I've found some inspiration in your photos! Mostly the second one. Would like some info on it, if you don't mind.

Those are some great shots. I love the atmosphere they convey.

Thanks for the comments, very much appreciated.

Welcome!

I'm not sure what info you're after but it was shot using the double glass optic. It was shot in an alley and the focus is on a rail that runs down one of the walls. If you need any other info just ask.

Cheers, Matt.

very inspired set! love your vision, very strong and personal!
#2 and 4 are my faves here :-)

Lookin' good Matt! Have you tried shooting some video with the Lensbaby on your GH1 yet? It's a blast.

Great first attempts I must say, wish my first attempt were like these :-)

Great start. Welcome to the forum. Like the images.
