I spoke in my last blog about the Lensbaby lenses which give the potential to achieve beautiful soft effects. For someone like me though, who historically has aimed for tack sharp images, the transition to soft doesn’t come easy!
Interestingly, since working with the lenses, I realise more and more that being selective with the point of focus is what is important here. And it can even make for a more interesting image, drawing the eye in. Furthermore, adapting to a different lens is an enriching experience. Initially, I hit a frustrating, might solid brick wall, but thanks to perseverance, unexpectedly the moment arrives when I see that I am starting to develop a process with the lens that works for me, in my own style - but in my own new style!
Exiting my comfort zone helps me to grow! Life was never meant to be a smooth road :)
