Well, the good news is it’s day 75. The bad news is there are still 25 days to go. The latest offering from lensbaby is not a lens at all but what they call a creative filter system. I got my Omni last week but today was the first day I really had to play with it. I’m afraid it is going to take a little more practice to get the effects I really want but I do see some potential here. The Omni consists of a ring that attaches to your lens that has some magnetic sockets to which you can attach wands and move them around in front of the lens. It seems to be helpful if you are shooting into a light source. the wand I was using here created a sort of bokah effect as the sunlight bounced off the edges of the wand. Moving the wand around, keeping the image in focus and trying to get the right effect is a bit of a three ring circus. the other wands offer a rainbow effect and a stretching effect. There are also three more supplemental wands that you have to buy separately but I didn’t get around to them today. I considered going black and white with this one but I liked the gold tone so I added vibrance and saturation and a couple of textures with a gold hue to try and tease that out a little more. Well the whole point of this exercise is to learn and I have much to learn about the Omni, which for the record does not come with an instruction manual.
