Also, what's that on his forehead, is that >an effect from the LB or is this guy particularly hairy? Hugh -- Oh, I took a lot of pictures to get this one. Every one is quite different and I almost always miss the focus. It is a matter of luck to get something interesting. Much like using a Diana or Holga. I used a Diana for six months in 2008 and it was truly exciting to get the negatives back to see if I got anything. Turns out I got plenty, apparently, as someone is creating a book from my Diana pictures right now. Same with the LensBaby except of course you can see the results immediately. The Composer version of the LensBaby is the way to go in my opinion. There is a screw-in wide-angle attachment that I used for this picture -- that's why the left side is totally vignetted. That's my friend Khunya... He doesn't have a hairy forehead so you're seeing an affect of the relatively crappy lens. ;) I prefer using a rangefinder to a DSLR by a country mile but with a LensBaby, the D700 becomes a lot more interesting and fun for me. .
