Thank you for your comment.

Your point is very valid about how the Lensbaby has evolved into a small system which means an investment of more money if you want to explore the different optics and accessories available.

In many ways, however, this is also what is making the Lensbaby offering increasingly interesting in terms of photo gear that really does offer up some new creative possibilities.

As with any system most people will usually start out small and then add to it if they feel the desire to explore possibilities further.

Personally I started out with the original Lensbaby (the Muse) which I found somewhat tricky to handle and use. When the Composer came out I was ‘sold’ though as it really is an improvement in terms of handling and use. Since then I have added the optic kit and other accessories and I plan to really explore the Lensbaby’s creative possibilities in more depth this (southern hemisphere) summer.

On that note your suggestion about writing a more in-depth article is a very good idea which I will try to pursue in the coming months (as mentioned I need to shoot more with my Lensbaby and develop a larger body of work).

While Photography 24/7 is still evolving one of my goals with this website is indeed to write more about the creative aspects of photography and perhaps less so about the technical aspects although I also have plans to perhaps develop more content for users who are new to digital SLR photography.

Thanks for the suggestions and inspiration Mike!

I really liked your images you posted using the lensbaby – how about an in-depth article on how you shoot with it, and the way it effects your creativity?
