So, this started out as an experiment that took on the life of the Energizer Bunny. It all started because when I bought the Omni filter system I had envisioned being able to use it with my Lensbaby lenses. But no, in their infinite wisdom Lensbaby included step down lenses with the device but none that fit their standard filter size. No worries, B&H had what I needed to get the job done. So this was my first attempt to mesh the Omni with the Velvet 56. I used two filter wands, one that gives a stretching effect and the rainbow wand. The sand dollar was sitting on the window sill of my studio. The sun is bright and it came out a little over exposed. But I persevered. It has a high pass filter, several vibrance and saturation layers, at least two textures, and several trips though Topaz software, most of which were aborted. Bottom line, I’m still not very happy with it but I am tired of playing with it. I can see that the Omni has a lot of potential for creative effects but it is a bit of a three ring circus trying to focus the lens, adjust the filters, etc, etc. The good news is there is a whole set of new Omni tools coming out and my name is on the list. I don’t think they will get here before the 100 days is over but more fun on the horizon.
