Hi all,

Our neighbor gave us two beautiful succulent plants that are great fun to photograph.

I used a friend's lens baby and 85mm f1.2 with 25mm extension tube for these. I liked the dreamy effect but would appreciate your opinion and feedback very much!

Thanks and take care,
- Deanna

    Hi Deanna, a lot of folks like the Lens Baby as I see you do too :D
    From those that you posted in this lot I like the larger image on the right.

    Tiny images are too hard to get a close look at any detail.

    Is it possible to post larger images???

    The group together really compliment each other .... Skippy :D

    Sure, Skippy and thanks for your comments.

    Not real sure I understand the technique of using the lens baby though seemed every time I attempted to really curve the lens I couldn't get anything (not even the tiniest speck) in focus.

    These are really pretty! Very restful to look at. They work well in a collage. I like the composition of #3. Very neat series! thumb.gif
