Look what I saw today!

San Francisco CA

Donna got me an early birthday gift this week. I received a Lensbaby and I love it! It's a lens that allows you to tilt it to put different parts of the lens out of focus. There are also a bunch of accessories you can buy for it like a fish eye and a plastic lens. I plan to pick those up one day in the near future but for now I will have tons of fun with what I have. It is a lens that allows you to get really funky artistic shots. It's really fun to use. Below are pictures I took today and the only modification I did to them outside the camera is I darkened them a bit because the lens doesn't work perfectly with my light meter. I also cropped 1 or 2 but I didn't add any of the cool effects you see. It's the lens baby!

Here is a shot of some signs at a parking lot

Here are some flowers at a shop. They write the prices on the back of cigarette cartons.

Here is a shot of the walkway leaving work

This is one of the ones I cropped. It's a motel on Lombard Street

Union Street has a bunch of bars so I took a photo of a neon sign

Here is an interesting photo of a tree. I like how the lens makes the lights look like ovals due to the tilt

Here is a neon sign at a dry cleaners

Some stickers on a door on Union Street

Here is a flower that is lit up brightly by a garden light right next to it. I cropped this one too

That's it for now but I am sure I will have more shots with the lens soon.
