    Lensbaby Image
    Canon 5D

    4+ and 10+ stacked

    Do you think there is enough focus?
    Do you like the tone?

    Excellent composition, Love the feel...the depth of field and selective focus is superb...:cool:

    I have to agree with Gus again.

    I don't understand the "Lensbaby" image.

    Am assuming 4+ and 10+ stacked were Extension Tubes which I have yet to learn how to use.

    I really like the image. Just another way to look at a hydrangia.

    Denise, yes, I think there is enough focus - but it would have been nice if the main leaves were crisper than what you see in the BG - kind of differentiating it a bit more. Still, I love the color and the image overall.

    Please tell everyone how you made the tonal change...I'm sure they'd like to know.

    Hey Denise, having fun with the lensbaby, this has a real nice soft feel. It's not a real sharp focus but with the lensbaby look I don't mind a little softness.

    Joseph-I learned to stack the lens' from Mike Moats macro book titled Tiny Landscapes, he shows the results of a couple of images using the lensbaby-Hope he comes out with a second book!

    I like the color, softness, composition, light.

    Denise:

    Mike's book is the best bang for the buck on macro photography. He doesn't talk above you.

    I sure hope he comes out with another book.

    There are three different "Lensababy's." Which one did you use?

    Joseph, I got the composer-along with the macro lens kit and the telephoto lens kit(which I haven't used yet) I just got it for Christmas. Mike Moats inspired me with one of his images he posted awhile back-it's fun and I really like the look you get from stacking them!
