Longwood Gardens Pictures with Lensbaby

I went to Longwood Gardens on Saturday for a Lensbaby workshop given by Mike Hagan with some other members of the Chester County Camera Club. Lensbabies are a special selective focus SLR camera lens. They allow you to tilt and shift the front lens element, which will move the focal plane around so you can put one thing into focus and blur other parts of the image around it. Now you could do the same thing using Photoshop, but using a real lens is lots of fun. Some people like the effect (I think it adds a neat artsy flair to pictures, especially flowers), while other people don’t like it (Bridget doesn’t like the effect much).

Here are some of the pictures that I took:
