So a Lensbaby composer pro with sweet35 optic came in the post the other day. I've been aching to get out with it but work sees me at home after dark at the moment. Nevermind, the weekend is here, but it's bitterly cold (falling snow even! but it melted before it hit the ground)
Ducked out on the bike for a quick sunset play with the new toy this afternoon. Definitely not easy to use in a time critical situation. I went with a tacky Lomo-esq processing to see if it made me feel any better about using it. Overall, I'm pretty happy, it gets me an image that I couldn't easily do in post, that crazy stretched blur or without a seriously expensive tilt-shift lens.
If anything it stops me just blatting away taking photos, I have to really work on composition and sweet spot location, AND size based on aperture. Hopefully it will be a good training tool to worry more about my composition.
