Hard to blog about bike commuting when I'm not bike commuting, and for that matter not riding my bike much at all. A variety of extenuating circumstances (how lame is that).
I have, however, been spending a lot of time on my various multimedia projects. Here is one of the latest. For fun, I got a Lensbaby Composer to make artsy pictures with. Lensbabies do selective focus, purposely blurring the non-selected parts. And you have to manually focus, and with a D40 you also have to do all the metering manually. All of which adds up to a rather silly endeavor for someone who doesn't know what she's doing -- and who desperately needs new glasses or contacts and simply can't see well enough to manually focus.
Anyway. The B&H Event Space did an "urban safari" in Times Square, using Lensbabies. Here are a few of the results. Which, again, has nothing to do with bikes or commuting. But I ran out of time to maintain two blogs, so I think I'll condense everything into one again.
When I told my favorite photo editor about my Lensbaby adventure, he said: "We're not allowed to use Lensbabies." To which I said: "But I'm not a `we' _ I'm a `me' and I get to do whatever I want."
There are certain benefits to not doing this professionally ....
Cool blog! I just stumbled on it and now I’m a dedicated reader. If you have free time you might want to check out sports shops.
