One downside of the Lensbabies is the lack of EXIF data to keep track of what you shot with. It can be frustrating to try and figure out later, especially if you’ve been shooting with similar Babies. I never have a hard time telling my circular fisheye from my twist, but when I take out…
I’ve had lots of fun with my lens ball (or crystal ball, or glass ball, whatever you like to call it) the last few months. And while I love how it works to use existing natural spots to put it, like the ones seen below, I often found myself frustrated. I don’t love the look …
