Today is the first day of my new 365 days of Lensbaby project. The objective is to take at least on photograph each day using one of my many Lensbaby tools and lenses. Today I initially set out for Lithia Park but quickly realized I was going to have a long hike to where I wanted to photograph, assuming I could find a parking place at all. So, I made a new plan and headed to North Mountain Park. My favorite thing to photograph at North Mountain Park this time of year is birds but, unfortunately, Lensbaby, has not yet branched out to telephoto lenses. So, it had to be Macro. I captured several pleasing shots but I just loved the simplicity of this one. It was captured using the Lensbaby sweet 80 on my Canon M6 with a 2x macro filter. Some might argue that extension tube might be a better choice because it doesn’t put more glass in front of the lens but with Lensbaby you are looking for blur anyway and I just got the macro filters and have to put them through their paces. I probably should have tried the same shot using extension tubes but didn’t think of it at the time. I don’t expect to be posting images every day on this site but I am going to try to do better with getting the best image of the week posted.
