Phew! Managed to get down to the beach tonight, excitedly fixing onto my Canon 350d / Rebel XT a new lens – the Lensbaby Composer.
I went with the double glass optic (which it comes with), and popped in the F4 aperture disc. The Sun had long set, but there were beautiful colours along the horizon. I mounted the camera onto my tripod, focused the Lensbaby, shifted the “Sweet Spot” around a little, covered the viewfinder with my thumb, and triggered the shutter with my remote release. (With mirror lock-up enabled, of course!)
I then headed down to the harbour to see what I could do with the tower, moving the point of focus around a little more:
An interesting start – now I just need a day off to take some daytime shots!
Thanks, Rob.
