Sunday was spent cleaning up the garden and even though there are many things growing out there, there wasn’t anything photographically inspiring. My daffodils should be open in a few days, so then I’ll have something botanical to look at.
In the meantime, I came across some wonderful photos using the creative aperture filters on a Lensbaby, something I haven’t played with much and want to learn a bit more about. So out came the Lensbaby and on went the heart ring. I set up a few candles and focused on the closest. The points of light from the ones in the background take on the shape of the aperture cutout. This was fun, but I have a lot more work to do with it to achieve the results that i’ve seen elsewhere.
Here are some much better examples…

And this one, on a video, is hysterical….
