Yesterday, I had a trip to Alowyn Gardens. I think it is one of the best places to test lenses for macro photography. Right now there are flowers everywhere. It was fantastic to see it all.
As I’ve said previously, I’m testing the Lensbaby Velvet 85 which I’ve been loaned by Lensbaby. I knew that Alowyn Gardens would be a great place to test it out. Up until now I’ve really only tried it out in my garden and the city. I loved it in the city, but I have struggled with my garden. I have to say I was really impressed with it today. I really enjoyed using it there. I liked how it was a bit easier to photograph flowers that were a bit further away.
I did take the Velvet 56 with me, and I knew if I wasn’t happy with the 85 I would swap to it, but I didn’t. I didn’t feel the need to do that. I think the Velvet 85 would be a great lens for me when it comes to the flowers.
I have two images for you now, one was taken with 56 and the other with the 85.
Hello Leanne, I really admired your love for photography. I started loving them too. You have very nice techniques1
Thank you Leonila, that is wonderful to hear.
Haven’t ever explored these lenses – on the “To-Do List” now.
Sounds good Judi, I’m so glad I discovered them.
Fantastic light an that purple flower.
Thank you.
I’m loving how many of my fellow photographers are onto the Lensbaby range. I don’t have any as yet, but it looks like I might jusy have to go shopping!!!
Beautiful images Leanne. 🙂
You might, I couldn’t imagine my macro photography without one. Thank you Suzie.
