Lensbaby Love Blog Circle: April: Velvet Nature

I was fortunate to be a beta-tester for Lensbaby's newest product, the Velvet 56. This is a beautifully made lens that is a joy to handle, and the images are reminiscent of a vintage lens. It has a wonderful softness and smoothness at wider apertures and is sharp when stopped down a bit. The Velvet and portraiture is a perfect combination for me and my style, but I have really enjoyed making some simple nature studies with it.

Thank you for spending a few moments with me! Continue the circle with the gorgeous work of one of my artist heroines, Anna VanDemark at Alchemy of Art.

  2. Victoria, such wonderful intimate and creative designs, plus the light and color - sigh! You've captured the beauty and allure of winter....makes me almost forget how long and cold it really was :) I'm jealous of this lens, especially if I could come up with images like these!
