Lensbaby- I Love Low Tech








My favorite piece of camera technology costs $150. It's a cheap little plastic springy lens that I use for a huge percentage of my shots, weddings included. It's called a Lensbaby (dumb name, I know). It is basically, a flexible tube lens that allows you to bend the plane of focus any way you like. You focus on an object by pushing or pulling the lens, then you can twist it away from the focal point creating amazing, dreamy shots. It is also very primitive and many shots look like pinhole or Holga cameras with strange light shafts and diffuse glows. Here's what the thing looks like:



And here are some wedding shots:
