Broken
The Call: Broken — Jessica
I took a Lensbaby class today, taught by Corey Hilz, at the local botanical garden. The best part was that I finally got my hands on an Edge 80. It was lovely!
This particular photograph is not really a very good representation of the lens (this one is better!)…I’m not quite sure where the slice of focus is. It almost seems like an angle of focus with the vertex being the gap in the planter and one ray going up to the right and the tree and the the second ray going down to the right and the bench. It took a bit to get use to and I’d love to be able to play with one more. Some of the portraits that I’ve seen are truly magical. Since I’m very slow to really find the focus manually, I’m not sure how effective it would be as a portrait lens for my little kids; but, maybe I could convince the older ones to sit still long enough for me. Maybe?
Response: Broken Window — Cheryl
When I saw today’s Call, I thought, “Well, that gives me plenty of shots to choose from.” With six kids, something around here is always getting broken. Luke set up this photo of the shed years ago. He used a rock on the window. A few years after that, the doors got broken. Sam and his screamingly fast runs down the driveway on the plastic tricycle was largely responsible for that.
Well, how handy is that? THE Lensbaby guru just happens to live in your area and just happens to be giving a class at your local garden. Lucky. : )
I know…and given the fact that the garden is two blocks from my front door…well, how could I pass that by? ; )
Yes, there is too much broken stuff in my house too. I could fill a 365 based on that prompt alone (and probably have enough left over to get a good start into the next year…)
Darn kids! (And husbands!)
