Photography by Alex Wendes
I had some time to kill this afternoon, so walked around, getting the occasional confused look as I photographed some dead ivy on a wall, or the like.
Shooting exclusively with my Lensbaby Composer and the Edge 35 Optic @ f/3.5.
So today is very much a flower day. Now that spring has finally sprung, there’s so much around to photograph. Our dog is slowly learning to wait for me when taking photos, though if he sees a leaf on the wind, there’s no guarantee I will get the shot I’m after!
I’m still shooting with the Edge 35 Optic, and I’m still enjoying it.
The dappled light was hitting the rosemary just right.
I was trying to choose between this shot of the Azalea and the one above… then I realised, I don’t have to!
I’ve had the Lensbaby Edge 35 Optic for about a week now. It’s a bit of a beast, in that I have to really work to learn how to use it. I’m used to slapping a new optic into my Lensbaby Composer and being ready to go with a shallow learning curve. Not so with the Edge 35.
What is interesting is that the optic works very well as a prime lense. When the composer is straight ahead, it’s like shooting with a nice, crisp 35mm lense.
It’s a bit difficult to get a good slice with extension tubes, but I intend to keep experimenting!
