Israel Good morning Jerusalem

[lZr]

Saturday morning browsing my Jerusalem folders I decided to share some old city scapes.

Nice picks Lazar.
Dod you shot the first one from the hip ?
The rest of two - lensbabies or something like that ?

 

[lZr]

Thanks Alex. Yes, All of them are Lensbaby 2.0 shots. I think the first is chest level shot.

Yeah, I also was wondering myself about those lensbabies though at last decided some time ago it is too fancy for my liking... having said that, I see by your images they indeed can be used to get quite an interesting effect drawing the observer's eye to the intended direction...

Yes, also the focus plane can be very interesting, since usually we get focus parallel to the plane of the image. LB can do focus in Z axis. For instance, while the left side of the image is out of focus, the other side can be in focus deep into infinity. Look at the second and third shots. I don't think everything can go nice with this lens, but I like it

Nice photos - I especially like the first one. What camera did you use your lensbabies on? Just curious.

Thanks!
Alex

I use my LB lens with KM Maxxum 7 (film) and Maxxum 7D (digital) cameras.
Michael - Nice site and good Jerusalem tour shots
I think I have the same priest shot. He lives in the Holy Sepulcher?
