Lensbaby

No.1 photo is titled "Every Dog has his day"(at the beach)

No.2 photo is titled "Beside the Lake" Captured with a Lensbaby 2.0 strolling the beach of the Great Lake Huron on this cold Fall morning. I hope you find these experiments interesting - jimmy

Well I sure find 'em interesting, Jimmy. I nearly always most admire images that have a figurative dimension ... images that challenge the viewer to make a contribution to the meaning and even to the success of the photograph. My view is that if I wanted to see what the world looks like, I can just see for myself (no camera required). I much prefer you to show me what it doesn't look like, or what it might have looked like. Your camera plus your imagination reveals that which would otherwise be hidden.

Of course, I'm still just a wee bit suspicious about that bird. But it might have been a bird, yes?

Anyway, I award 10/10 for these.

Paulo,you and I think alike! Thank you for the 10/10. I don't think I would have given myself a 3/10. As well as photography you sure do have a talent for writing. Have you published any novels? If not you have missed your calling! That pesky bird always seems to get into the act!

Jimmy,

Nice images -- well created.

Rich

I've got an impression there was a running bison in a prairie. Very impressionistic result.

Igor.

Jimbo......I feel that "Beside the Lake" is where the aRt of Bending has it's very special niche......a bit of Blending adds to the impression, but we the viewer don't have to know all the details to fully enjoy the the scene presented .

Hi Ran and Nathan, thanks for your nice comments and thoughts. Much appreciated - jimmy
