Well, after over a year of owning my DSLR I finally bought a new lens. I bought a Lensbaby Spark! It is quite the crafty little lens that has a completely different focusing system than my other lens. The lensbaby spark has a set aperture in it, and it focuses by compressing the lens. How much you compress the lens, and tilt the lens, creates the focusing affect. All the blur in these photos are caused from that compressing motion while shooting. All these images are straight out of camera [SOOC] to show what it is like to work with the lens. Another unique thing about the lens since it is of simple construct and not the usual lens my DSLR does not pick up the lens. Therefore when I shoot with it I have to shoot in Manual mode with no exposure meter or any of the helpful tools I use to help me get my shot. It creates a whole new challenging aspect of taking photos, and one has to do a few test photos before you can figure out how the proper settings. A little tip: while working with this camera have a sheet around to build a cheat sheet of settings for later [I, however, have not done this and hope that by memory, and knowledge of light, will be able to keep this information on hand in my head]. I hope you enjoy the photos I took, and are as impressed by this lens ability to capture things as I am. For those who want more information on the Lensbaby Spark lens I have added a couple videos from the Lensbaby site about the Spark. Hope you enjoy!
