I’m still experimenting with the Lensbaby I got for my birthday. Street Photography might not be the perfect playground for this lens, but on Saturday I have attached it onto my Olympus PEN-F and took it to the Streets of Nuremberg. The result is this Lensbaby Streetshot.
Lensbaby lenses are unique, creative tools designed for photographers who want to experiment with selective focus and artistic effects. These lenses feature a flexible, bendable design that allows for the control of focus points, creating a distinct “sweet spot” of sharp focus surrounded by blur. Popular for their ability to produce a dreamy, otherworldly look, Lensbaby lenses are favored by those who enjoy capturing photos with a sense of movement, abstraction, or enhanced creativity. They offer a variety of lens models, from simple to more complex systems, catering to both beginners and professional photographers.
This photograph was taken at 1/30 sec and ISO 80. The fixed aperture of the manual focus lens is f/3,5, focal length 28mm. The color combination certainly works here. I like the soft touches the Lensbaby gave to this image. It is a lens that needs to be “worked”, but this is also the fun of it. I just wish I had more time to explore it. To get another Lensbaby Streetshot.
Wish you all a good week!
Marcus

Interesting, I was born and raised in Hanau.
Thanks, Jimbob, so much appreciated! So you are a „Hesse“ by birth 👍! I have passed Hanau so many times on the Autobahn, but never actually been to the city. Marcus
Yes, used to live very close to the Autobahn, almost at back door.
Have fun continuing to work with that lens! I got out in the fog over the weekend to take some shots. It’s the first time in a while that I’ve been out shooting. I kept asking myself why I don’t get out more often.
I ask myself that all the time, Amy. The answer is work, family, friends, and sometimes just tiredness…..have a great day! Marcus
Very nice pic. Have a great week Marcus
Thanks so much, Miriam, hope you‘re having a great week yourself! Marcus
Absolutely Marcus. And looking forward to some moon gazing tonight 🌗
Which lensbaby is this? I’d been looking at maybe getting my first Lensbaby. Thinking maybe a Twist 60.
Hi Magnus, it is the Lensbaby Trio 28 – here is the link to the BH review: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/explora/photography/hands-review/hands-review-lensbaby-trio-28
Great shot Marcus, and reminds me of Jim Morrison. 👍🏻😬
Thanks, John, now that you say it…
