I know the dizziness, I feel exactly the same. It’s a difficult lens, the gap between okay and crazy is very narrow, and most of the times the results get just too distorten. You have to be patient and make several tries to make sure you get at least one descent shot.

Ove, I think your right, the reason I like this Lensbaby photo is because you haven’t over-done the distortions. Just enough to make it interesting but not so much to make me feel dizzy.

I’m clearly a Lensbaby fan, but 4 out of 5 images have to be thrown away. It’s a difficult lens. Thanks!

I’m with Earl on this one. I’m not a Lensbaby fan, but I like this, Ove. I think that it enhances the image.

Thanks, Earl! The dreamy, painterly effect you usually can get from this lens is great. A perfect match for my eyes, which sees things this way too often.
Many says so, that Lensbabies not are their cup of tea. It might be so that the usual lensbaby image gets a little bit too much distorted. I have cropped this one, to omit the worst parts that were totally warped. The light speed effect is not my cup of tea.

I’m not normally a lens-baby fan, but I like the “dreamy” effects in this photo. As you said, perhaps this was a better shot for pulling back showing the surroundings. I like!
