Challenge: All I Want for Christmas (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Olympus E-500 EVOLT
Lens: Lensbaby Composer
Location: Nagoya downtown
Date: Dec 20, 2008
Aperture: f/2.8
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/80sec
Galleries: Blur, Lensbaby
Date Uploaded: Dec 21, 2008

 ORF developed in Lightroom, using several of the "Basic" sliders, Tone curve sliders, noise reduction and some 'burning' with the brush tool and cloning out minor disturbing light spots

Actually the mail brought this 'baby' a few days before x-mas which is not celebrated in this country anyways. This shot was one of the first I took - I am surprised about the great effect you can get with lights, but otherwise find it very difficult to get the "sweet spot" or focus on anything at all.
I've no clue how this will do in a challenge, but I like this shot!

I got a Lensbaby for my birthday over a year ago. Only used it once. I think it still intimidates me.
