Lensbaby Angel - Soft Focus Optic
Christmas day and I thought I’d have some fun with the tree lights and one of our ornaments. Used the soft focus optic with a star disk from the creative aperture kit. Also used the tele converter and the +4 close up adapter. The right distance from the lights, two off camera flashes with snoots to light the angel and you have the formula for the image. Here’s another one from the session, pretty much the same formula but with a “secret” ingredient added…can’t tell you everything.

Sam! This is one of the best Lensbaby Creative Aperture shots I have seen. Bravo!
Hi Sam, Thanks for the great comment…I kind of like this myself. My wife thinks I should save this for our Christmas card next year…we’ll see?
Very nice! Come one… share the secret!! At least give us a hint!! 😛
O.K. Nathan, here’s the hint: “old filter”.
AHHH.. Got ya.. nice effect. Did you use the step-up shade or just hold it? Might have to play with a setup like this!
I used the step-up shade but you could just as easily hold it in place.
