I got hold a lensbaby, which is a neat little lens that does great work for marco lovers. Check it out at www.lensbaby.com I’ll post more of the images shot with the lensbaby. You can go to my website, www.tinylandscapes.com and click on the link that says Lensbaby Images.
I would like to introduce myself, I am Mike Moats, a professional Nature Photographer from Sterling Heights, Michigan. I started in photography as a hobby seven short years ago (2001) and it quickly grew into a full time business. To date I’ve had articles and images published in, Outdoor Photographer Magazine, Nature Photographer Magazine, Nature’s Best, Whisper In The Woods, Photolife, Michigan Game Finder, NANPA’s 2007 & 2008 Expression Book, and Fujifilms Newsletter (Cable Release), and Calenders. I’m proud to have won numerous international and local awards, and in 2006 was asked to join the Fuji Pro Talent Team, and in 2008 I became a moderator of the macro/flora catogory at Birdphotographers.Net. In 2006 I started Close-Up/Macro Photography Workshops, which went very well, and I’m expanding to add more workshops and clinics. The bulk of my income comes from sales of my prints which I market through art shows, exhibits, and online through my website. www.tinylandscapes.com Email, mgmoats@yahoo.com
Mike,
I’ll admit to be tempted by this lens but haven’t liked much of what I’ve seen done with it. This image however is really different and I think it’s very effective. I’m looking forward to other examples of your creativity with this new tool of yours.
Although I have one, I have found it very difficult to use for macro work. I have the 2.0 version without the locking screws and can rarely get an image with any sharp points in it. I like what you did here Mike.
Hey Mike,
This image inspires me to pull my Lensbaby out of the bag and experiment. I bought the Lensbaby 2.0 but admittedly, don’t use it often. I think I need lessons!
Very neat Mike, I will have to look into one of these, like Paul I was never very impressed by the images they took but yours is definitely a lot different. Great work !!
I visited your gallery and viewed the rest of your lensbaby photos. I loved them! They took me into a dreamy world and took my breath away.
