The ramblings of g1powermac

Alright, so most of you probably don’t know what a lensbaby is.  A lensbaby is a lens for SLR cameras that allows you to really play with the focus so you can artistically create interesting effects.  It’s a kin to the really expensive tilt and shift lenses available for SLRs that allow you to off center the focal plane.  A lensbaby gives you even more control allowing you to select just the item you want to be in focus and everything else will be out of focus.  Now here comes the interesting part.  What if you stuck one of these on a 35mm DOF adapter for your DV camcorder?  You could make some really interesting shots with this thing.  It allows for great artistic options in videography as well what it was originally meant for in photography.  The manufacturer even decided to make a dedicated lensbaby that has a particular mount just for cine movie cameras.  Just take a look at some of their sample footage to see what I’m talking about.  It’s really spectacular.
