Q: What does a Lensbaby have in common with drinking?

A: They both allow you creative focus on a variety of subjects.

I got two things I have been looking forward to for a while this past Friday: a margarita (or three) and a Lensbaby 2.0 lens for my camera. Amazon had a great deal on the last generation of this lens and overspending on our credit card allowed me to use rewards points to pick one up with no cash outlay.

I’m still figuring it all out, but it’s horribly easy to move the sweet spot of this lens around and get incredible blur radiating out from it. This is not a great image, but I love the focus on the drink while the stem and base of the glass dissolve nicely keeping the eye coming back to the drink.
