As we obsess over the latest camera technology and spend our precious time wishing for this or that camera we don't have, we are missing out on golden opportunities to take wonderful pictures. I see it every day on the blog, most of the queries and emails that come to us are about which camera to buy or which one to change. Friends, I am going to tell you something important, although it is nothing new, it seems that for many it is: it is much better to invest in objectives. Any camera with manual controls will allow you to do crazy things. Unless you are a professional photographer, my (and our) advice is clear, invest more in lenses. That's why today I present the Lensbaby objectives .
The objectives of your camera are the ones that will encourage your creativity, the ones that will help you get closer to an object, capture the entire scene or blur to the limits of heart attack. You will not take your best photographs with the best camera, but with your best eye and with a lens that accompanies you. You can have a beginner camera with an interesting lens and get better photos than a professional full frame mega camera with a paperweight, no matter how much you know how to squeeze it. I guarantee you.
To learn more about objectives, types, terminology, acronyms, focal lengths and others, do not miss the mega guide that we have prepared for you.
WHAT ARE LENSBABY LENSES?
Lensbaby is a manufacturer of optics designed to multiply your creativity and your artistic capacity. If you like to experiment, play, create, push your imagination to the limit, enjoy photography and avoid routine. If you love vintage, different, original photos, with great blurs, with incredible effects and without having to edit too much, these lenses are made for you. You are going to fall in love with them, or at least you are going to have a terrible desire to try them.
…photography is not precision or perfection, but fascination. lensbaby
But if yours is perfection, absolute sharpness and what matters to you is the quality of each pixel more than originality or creativity, they will not seduce you. But it doesn't hurt to meet them, getting out of your comfort zone always brings joy and fresh air. And you like to be up to date, right? Do you stay then? All right! I knew you wouldn't disappoint me ? .
I leave you with some of these wonders.
