Another wonderful shot. Did you use the magnifying (not sure what it is called) attachment?

I bought the Muse which is kind of like using a stretchy piece of rubber. It doesn't stay where you put it. When you feel it's in focus where you want it to be, you snap. The Composer and the...Tightass or whatever it's called, would probably be easier to focus, but would take more time. To be honest, I hated the Muse at first, but I hadn't used it much. Now that I'm actually taking it out of my bag, I'm really liking it. It's cheaper, too! :) There are little....I think they are called diopters.... which are little rings you drop in to change your fstop which I haven't used yet. They will change the size of the sweet spot.

The Muse doesn't have anything like that. To get more of a macro effect, you actually stretch the lens out. It's like a little accordion. It's been fun to experiment with and thanks for the compliment. It's pure luck at this point.

I had never even heard of these until I saw this post. (I'm learning soooooo much from this website.) I googled it to see excatcly what it was. Question...can you get these same results using a macro from a distance with a shorter dof and focusing on a specific spot? I like the images I was seeing on the different websites...very cool. Thanks for sharing!

No, there's a certain amount of distortion that goes with the Lensbaby. I'll try to get an example on here today...

I have one on order and can't wait to get it. I like it case u can cut down on certain lenses. It even has one that's like the fisheye lens but way less the cost. Your picture has me very excited.
