The highlight of my spring break was going to Joshua Tree with the [B] School. I have always wanted to go on one of their field trips, but never have been able to since I work during the week. But since I had a week off, I had some time to take a day to hang out with my friends and take some pics. If you are a photographer and want to meet some cool peeps who love taking pictures as much as you, check out the [B] School. Every couple of months [B]ecker and Joe Photo organize these little photo outings, so join the club and start having some fun.
I also recently bought a Lens Baby, so I disciplined myself to only use this lens and nothing else for the whole day. I really wanted to master this lens and I figured after 6 hours of shooting, I would be able to ace the tricky manual focus on this cool lens that tilts the frame and selectively focuses on a small bit of the photo. It was a little hard to get used to, but I had a super fun day shooting an abandoned gold mine and mars like trees on the beautiful desert plains of Joshua Tree.
I’m on the BSchool- how did I not know about this? I would have loved to join u-how much was it?
Whoa those images came out funky cool, especially the image with the purple light. Way to stick with the Lensbaby all day.
I love this lens, and LOVE that you used it all day…perfect for the location!!
I really love this set! nice drag effect look amazing in black and white.
…and you just opened me up to the lensbaby world, this is exciting!
Hi Amber! So glad I got to carpool out with you and Tom — had such a fun time! Glad you stuck with the Lensbaby all day as well — I think it will pay off the next time you use it (and you will feel so much more comfortable while using it, too). Love the one of Joe Photo, and I really like how some of them came out in b&w! Good times! 🙂
