100 Days of Black and White Photos: Day 5

I forgot that I had an Easy Macro macro lens. I bought it from Photojojo the same time that I bought the polarizer lens, (a different) macro lens, and a telephoto lens for mobile phones.

Lensbaby Lens

Due to this video. I may have to rethink my dislike for Lensbaby lens. I don't like how photos look so unpolished. Not in the same way that Lomomgraphy photos look unpolished. Most photos taken with Lensbaby lens look like they were messed up by accident and not on Purpose.

This video shows that the lens may be better used for video rather than still photos. If I ever get a DSLR with video, I may think about getting a lens.

Side note: I didn't know Kanye West sampled that song for his song Blame Game. Now I have to look for the original ...

One Camera, One Lens Project

I heart the Tumblog Tokyocamerastyle.com. In this post they mentioned the One camera, one Lens Project. I already did this last year, but in color and with my 50mm. Actually I didn't make it through the whole year. I should say 6 months. I wasn't planning to shoot a whole year with just my 50. I had gotten it as a gift and loved it so much. I wanted to get better at shooting, not worrying about what lens I had and made what I had work. Around the summer I stopped carrying my D60 with me every single day (which I'd done since I got it back in Feb 08). I only kept my phone on me to take photos.

I may get a 35mm lens in the next couple of weeks and then only shoot in black and white for a month or two ... or maybe 6 months. I really do want to get better at composition. Photography is about capturing light and not about what equipment or software you have. I may start shooting in black in white on my phone camera too.
