Rainy Day Ice Cream

Settling in for a wet weekend here in Maine as the rain clouds hover for the duration. Time for board games, family movies, cuddling under blankets, and something to satisfy our family’s collective sweet tooth…I’ve been experimenting with my new Lensbaby Edge 80 Optic (as seen with these yummy ice cream photographs). It gives a nice slice of tack sharp focus which is bordered by dreamy blur. I’ll be featuring this optic in an article in my next book (due out August 2014 with North Light Books), along with Lensbaby’s Sweet 35 Optic. Keep in mind that if you are interested in these optics, you will need a special Lensbaby lens to insert them into. I myself use Lensbaby’s Composer Pro that came with my Creative Effects Kit. The special lens attaches to the body of your digital SLR, just like any lens would. Lensbaby has a variety of creative optics that achieve all kinds of special effects. These products are made for both Canon and Nikon DSLRs.

Did you know that a child laughs more than 300x a day, while an adult laughs less than 20x daily? Nothing feels as good as a dose of it. My hairdresser introduced me to edbassmaster!!!! Here are my fav skits. Heeeee!:
