Flowers and a bit of Funk
Flowers and a bit of Funk
This post will fit for two challenges namely
Beautiful Sunday By @ace108,
The beautiful Part of the post is flowers, even though I put on the act of being a tattoed thug often I do love the beauty of flowers
and
Sublime Sunday, created by @c0ff33a,
My Take on Sublime and the little funky part is because I did something a bit different with these shots I was playing around with my Lensbaby trio lens taking these shots, the Lensbaby trio has three different lenses built in that give a spot of focus and a blur to the out of focus areas, the three types of blur are Twist, velvet and sweet, and these shots are using one of those settings.
I will say first off before getting to the photos that I took these last week when it was overcast and dreary, and the first time I had used the lens for a long while so the shots are not as good as I should have been able to get but I think they're good enough to share and I will be playing with my new Lensbaby lenses over the coming weeks and hope to get even better shots to share.
Starting with my favorite shot that I got of this little insect on one of the roses, I think this was using the velvet setting

Next I go with one that the background I have made darker I supect its a shot people will either loveor hate, What do you think or feel about this one?
This was using the twist lens and you can see the twist effect in the background

This next one looking side on at a rose and I think the sweet portion of the lens and this shot probably got the best bokeh in the background which I was hoping to get in some shots.
Now, these are not all the flower shots I took that day many have been deleted, using this lens it is tricky to see on the screen if you nailed the focus where you want it and I had many other shots that quickly were sent off tot he trash can.

And one last shot to finish off the post, I was back and forth with myself whether to share this one or send it off with the others to the trash bin

The lens baby trio I used for these shots is a cool little lens to have fun with but it has a fixed aperture which limits how much control you have with it, but I did have fun doing something different on camera, so I went ahead and bought a Lensbaby Optic kit with three lenses which allow the user to adjust the aperture, which I am just starting too play with and hope to be able to get better shots, they will never be my main lens but will be fun to play with now and again to get something a little different
And that’s all folks

Thanks for the resteem and support ;)
Very beautiful flowers .. that pictures are really nice taken ^^
Thanks Kindly it was fun playing around with that lens
I kind of like the ones with the twist effect, it looks like the background is in motion. the last unsure photo, I do like. It looks like a fun lens to play with, I am still after a year struggling with my zoom lens, and even though I struggle with it it pretty much stays on the camera, I needed to switch it out yesterday, but I got lazy and left it on. Still had fun taking pictures.
Thanks the twist effect seems to be quite popular with the comments on this post,
I have about 6 lens total at the moment my Zoom lens is the one I use most but I do enjoy switching out to another lens now and again
These are beautiful! I actually love the one with the twist lens. How fun to experiment with the lenses.

Thanks I think the twist effect is my favorite one, I will be trying out the new set and see how they work I like the idea of the new set as it gives me more control of the effect :)
It really looks amazing, too!

Thanks again and have a great week ahead ;)
Stunning shots my Friend..........especially the one with the bee!
Thanks these were fun shots to do :)
Nice bee'ish bug shot. :)
I'm not into a lot of "dark"..... but I do think the second photo is like a statement photo, you know, there always still being something good a bright in times of darkness.
All of the others are pretty as well. I always love photos with drips of water, rain, dew.
The next to the last one I believe is my fav.
Hope you have a pleasant day.
Thanks I like your take on the second photo all the others were kind of dark so I felt like doing something different for one shot
Thanks for the feedback on your favorite ;)
Gorgeous flowers..with a buggy thrown in :-)
Thanks Mate I hope your weekend is going well :)

Want to have your post on the map too?
That first one is stunning! I always love the shots with bees and bugs hanging out on the flowers. Though that second one is pretty neat, too. I could see that as the cover image for some kind of dark romance novel or something like that. 😜
