I had been on a bit of a road trip the last few days and have only just got home to be able to download everything off the camera, and get working on the edits..

Hope you like it..

Lensbaby Muse Trial..

Well I went and purchased a Lensbaby Muse the other day, and have been fiffing and faffing about with it for  like 3 days now.

I have been using the f4 aperture disc, and think I might really need to get on the f5.6 just for a slight larger and sharper "sweet spot". I must admit though I am using the Plastic Optic so everything is a little more Dreamy and Soft, and feel the investment into the Double Glass will happen when I decide to use it for more Portrait work.

There are many many wonderful little toys and experiments that can be done with this remarkable lens. I am also waiting for the Creative Aperture kit to arrive in Australia for even more fun.

My Thoughts thus far..

I'm still a little undecided on this. I need to head out and shot a lot more with it, just to get the feel and range of what this lens can achieve. I plan on doing a few more Street and City shots before I pass judgement, as anything I say now just wouldn't be fair. I think for landscape and cityscape style shots, the plastic optic offers an AMAZING chance to be extremely creative and offer an almost tilt shift feel to images. 

I will walk down to a few of the Highway Overpass's around my house over the next few days and see what images I'm able to produce. I will post my results over at my Flickr page.

Better Photography Magazine

Just received an email from the people at betterphotography.com that one of my images just received a Bronze Award for Photograph of the Year.

Feeling like a very happy photographer at the moment.

Getting more done...

I have been working on a few things as of late.

I have been on the march getting a few shots around not only my local area, but around Melbourne in General. You can see the work on my flickr page, or you can go and Like my Facebook page and see what I'm working on at any time. I have a normal Facebook page for my Photography as well.
