[Capture Challenge] Charge your battery and take some photos

One from today’s stroll around town with my Lensbaby…

Oooh, nice! It’s been a while since I’ve seen a Lensbaby in use. Never had one but was tempted at one point.

That one is with a sweet 35 optic (a single sweet spot of focus surrounded by blur) but I’ve really been having fun with my new edge 50 optic today (a line of focus surrounded by blur). I’ve had Lensbabys for a while but on a DSLR finding the sweet spot by eye in the viewfinder is really hard and I had way too many shots out of focus. It’s taken on a new life now I’ve moved to FujiFilm – focus peaking in the EVF really helps to nail the focus. You can literally see the line or spot of focus highlighted on the screen and move it around as you’re shooting.

X-T4, XF50, exposed using @grubernd’s iso-invariant-method.

Still no luck finding a sharp one in flight mode :frowning:

Have fun!

So, testing my new lenses I managed to get some similar shots today, take a look:

Hope you like it?
It was windy here, so it wasn’t that easy to hit the bumblebees with that tiny depth of field. Also, I havn’t quite the macro experience :man_shrugging: Anyway… I had fun, shooting these.

Your shot is also nice :+1: Have too look up the iso-invariant-method.

This one reminded me of a piece from Zürich’s Christmas decoration, with all the silhouetted, personal stories (sorry, snapped this one with the phone):

Are you referring to this topic?

Swift reply because of dinner:
Yes, that is the one.

My wife complained about my bottle collection the other day. I told her, I didn’t see what the problem was :grinning:

Only problem I can detect is that
they are not full?
