Creating artwork through the lens of my camera is so exciting, especially when I’m able to create in real life the images I dream up in my mind! This means I’m always on the lookout for tools and equipment that help me achieve this vision for my photography. When Michelle and I first discovered Lensbaby’s Optic Swap System several years ago, we were immediately drawn to the effects this gear allowed us to create in-camera. It took our everyday lifestyle photography to a whole new level…

With the Sweet 35, Sweet 50, Edge 80 optics, and macro converters, the possibilities for artistic expression are endless!

One of our favorite optics is the Edge 80, which allows us to create a tilt-shift effect in our photos. This creates a slice of focus through the photo, allowing us to play with depth-of-field in many different ways.

Here’s a quick video with more information on how the Edge 80 Optic works:

Paired with the macro converters, any of these Lensbaby optics make capturing the tiny, almost unseen (and in this case, frozen) world around us so much more exciting. Imagine all the luscious bokeh possibilities!
