Nice job, that Hamish. So what did you do to get the blurring?

It was done with a lens baby 3G, odd bit of kit, but fun to play with and offer pleasing results

Ah, OK. I've never come across one of those. Nice effect though!

Hi Hamish and all,
Have you ever tried them for portraiture?
D3 with Lensbaby Composer (although I still think the original is the fastest to use once you get used to them).
Regards,
Pete

I have a few shots I've done at weddings, but I can't find them... Il have another look tomorrow!
They certainly take a little bit of patients to get used to! I keep meaning to get mine back out... I think I will soon...

Mmmmm, lens baby.. is that the tilt-shift lens?
I think I've seen shots taken with it, that make city-scapes look like small scale models?

Well, I guess it tilts, but I wouldn't describe it as a shift/tilt lens as such. It is a selective focus lens with a larger or smaller central zone of focus (depending on the chosen optic / aperture plate) which allows you to move that zone to a specific part of the image. You would struggle to get the compressed scale effects you are referring to though.
It's worth browsing their website though http://www.lensbaby.com I guess the Composer is the easiest to use.

Here's what I've seen done with it, very clever!

Hi Chris,
Hey, that works much better than I would have expected. I guess it is much more subject dependent than using a conventional S/T lens though.
