Good use of the Lensbaby Jeff. Great mysterious feeling...having bits of flower pop out of the colored mist.

the lensbabies certainly adds a dreamy soft focus to the background, im curious what your aperture setting was for some of these...the depth of focus seems amazingly minute...

woody, it was f2 but very very hard to focus. After a while I had to drop in the next ring down which I think is f4. You change aperture similar to the old 1800s barrel lenses. You literally put in apertures with different sized holes in front of the lens.

These are very neat, and so atmospheric -- like flowers underwater or something. Love the lensbaby!

N I C E Jeff! Love the wide open aperture..What's a lensbaby?? These shots are so mysterious and lovely. Showing your gentle side...

Thanks for the comments everyone. Pam, Lensbaby is a selective-focus lens you can buy at http://www.lensbabies.com. They are a simple manual lens attached to a small bellows which then attaches to a mount compatible with Nikon, Canon, Olympus or Leica SLRs. They basically allow you to get certain effects of large format cameras, but on your 35mm/SLR format (and now medium format) camera.

Beautiful forms reaching out of a dream. Beautiful study.

These would look nice as Mother's Day Cards.

Jeff, you need to print some of these big.

This is fantastic Jeff!!
Vinca said at 1:57 a.m. on Jun 30, 2007:
Jeff, these are so lovely. The flowers seem to be enveloped in a misty haze through which they are peeping out. Some of these pictures would definitely make very pretty cards :o)
