...this wonderful side challenge. Thanks for all the comments! Although I don't have one, I learned a lot about lensbabies this month.

What a great month of fantastic Lensbaby (and T/S) photos. Couldn't manage to keep up with my planned one a day but hey ho. Thanks everyone for wonderful images and inspiration! Plus, what a great time to finish, with a T/S challenge to enter! Wonderful!!

Great LB challenge as always guys, I wish I had more time to participate.

Now, I could really use your help in choosing the 2 photographs for that Lensbaby 'get published' competition.

I've narrowed my choice to these photos, and I'd like to kindly ask you to pick 2 of your favourites. I might be awfully biased since I have some emotions related to each and every photograph I've taken, so an objective eye would really help me. Feel free to PM with your picks and ideally a very short reason why you like the photo. Thanks a lot for your effort and time, greatly appreciated!









In case you think my picks were wrong, here are the galleries with all of my LB photos (and there's a lot of them ;-))

Lensbaby, baby!

Oooops I lensbabied it again!

Cheers

Hum, very hard to pick two Zigomar as all your LB shots are pretty great. I'll pick my four favourites out of those though...



I'm still amazed at how sharp you can get that sweet spot. Masterful use of the lensbaby!

I'm wondering if i should enter two as well. I don't think any of my Lensbaby shot are really good enough but i think one or two of my fireworks shots may be worth entering simply because they seem to be a surprising result of the Lensbaby that i've never seen before that they may be interested in.

Thanks a lot Clive!

A tip regarding focusing - try to hold your both eyes open, that helps me with focusing, as your 'off-viewfinder' eye is always in focus, and you kind of 'match' the sweet spot focus to it ;-) Keep in mind that I'm using 2.0 which has no focus screws and focusing might be different on other models (?).
But I must add that I shoot the same scene many times (that's like 10-15 times), and I literally shoot the same frame over and over again to make sure that I focused right. That gives you wider selection and perhaps even different expression of the subject.

As for your doubt whether to apply or not - there's no dilemma if you ask me - you MUST enter. Good luck!

Cheers

Love this one: And despite my comment on it, I'd also go with this one:

Face it, dude, you simply have WAY WAY too many great shots to choose from! I'll look through more here in a bit. And Clive, yes, you need to enter as well. As do Rachel ( RKT) and Karen ( krnodil). So get picking those shots, folks, and get them entered!!
