Isn't the Lensbaby fun? :-) This makes me think of little kids spinning each other around on a sunny summer day. Posted: 07/02/2026 18:22:19
It is. I have another one that I haven't tried yet-I can't get the lens cap off! Waiting for help. Posted: 07/03/2026 15:39:15
Good luck. It must be so frustrating to be so close to a brand new toy & not be able to play with it! Posted: 07/03/2026 15:43:39

Made me think of a merry-go-round, with flowers instead of lions and horses! Excellent post-processing, too. I didn't realize that hydrangeas come in white. Posted: 07/11/2026 17:36:21
Beautiful, aren't they. I didn't either for many years until I was gifted one. I grew up with the blue/pink/purple variety that I hated. ???? Posted: 07/11/2026 23:38:34
You're becoming an expert with the LensBaby. Love the swirl - and sharp center. I think the brown area on the lower left is a bit of a distraction; easy to remove if you choose to. I've never tried the LensBaby. I could see getting some of this effect in Ps; but always better to do it in camera! Posted: 07/12/2026 12:50:13
