Me and my Lensbaby - First go at it....

Well, it seems that I finally got the energy and patience to get the Lensbaby Composer out from storage for a really good go at it. Truth be told, I have had the Composer for almost 2 years now and have only tinkered with it on the first day that I got it. I was NOT patient and/or willing I guess at the time to learn how to use it. So, I packed it away - just happy knowing that ONE day I might be able to produce some of the shots that I had seen in the promo material and from testimonials. Well that day came and went - happily and will some minor success.



I learned how to use the composer from searching the internet, there are various YouTube videos and the forum on the Lensbaby site is quite helpful. Thanks!!



Just wanted to post a few shots that I took. For me at least my successes have coming from using the camera on a tripod. Will have to look and make adjustments - prolly in Manual mode and adjust shutter speed. Anybody out there with advice please feel free and do not hesitate to either provide advice or a link for more help. THANKS!

What one won't do for the "perfect shot"?

TORONTO — A pedestrian trying to snap some pre-dawn photos of the Toronto skyline while leaning on the rails of the Gardiner Expressay has been arrested.

Toronto police received several calls about a man who had walked onto the Gardiner Expressway, perched himself onto the guardrail of the elevated roadway, and started snapping pictures.

Police say drivers were concerned because the man was stepping in and out of traffic.

When officers arrived on scene, the man told police everyone had pictures of the skyline from over the bridges and that he wanted something extra.

Traffic Services Const. Hugh Smith says it's fortunate no one was injured considering that vehicles travel between 80 to 120 kilometres per hour on the expressway.

The man was arrested and released a short time later with two tickets in hand.
