Lensbaby Day

Alcy at the Antique Center
Michael Curso just joined the Lensbaby club. Along with Alcy, we each packed up our Lensbaby equipment and headed out to see what we could find on a pretty miserable rainy day. Michael is turning out some very interesting photography and it is always a pleasure to go shooting with him. I am very hit and miss with the Lensbaby but I came home with a couple that I think are presentable.

 Michael was using mostly the Pinhole/Zone Plate optic. I came home and put that on my B&H wishlist. I got a nice gift card from B&H and think that is a pretty good use for it.

We first headed to Texas Antique at the old Northwest Mall. I started the day off great by dropping the D750 about two and a half feet on to the concert sidewalk. Surprisingly it bounces. So far I haven't found any problem beyond popping the silver ring off of the front of the Lensbaby. Wasn't a good way to start the day. After an hour or so at the antique store we headed to the Houston Arboretum but got rained out after a short while. Grabbed lunch at Star Pizza and drove through Glenwood Cemetery but didn't take any photos. Back to the studio and called it a day. But I am getting a little enthused about possibly using the Lensbaby more.

    Lisa, welcome. I am pleased you found it of interest and hope you will drop by occasionally. It is supposed to be about photography but as you might have discovered I am likely to go off in any direction. Do you have a blog or site where you post? Would love to see some of your work. There is a list of the photography groups I sometimes hang out with on the right. If you are involved in any of them hopefully we will run into each other.
