Since I own both a crop sensor (Nikon d7000) and a full frame (Nikon d750) camera, per request of a fellow Lensbaby lens user I took some comparison photos. She wanted to decide if she should get the Twist or the Burnside lens for her camera. I didn’t do post-processing on the images to show how the lenses capture the subject naturally.
1. In the first comparison I photographed the subject from the closest distance possible, which was about 19 inches.
Full Frame at F2.5
Crop Sensor at 2.5
Today I have two images to share with you; both taken in my backyard. The top one is a Blue Hibiscus, and the bottom one is a Dahlia. I used the Lensbaby Twist 60 for both with a +4 macro filter on. Enjoy!
I posted about the lilies my husband gave me on the 11th. Well, this bouquet of flowers just keeps giving. It opened its last bud today, and it is wonderfully fragrant too. I took a few more macro images of it with my Lensbaby Twist 60. This is one of them.
Today my husband surprised me with a gorgeous bouquet of lilies. It was an anniversary present; we met 18 years ago today, on a very snowy day in Denver, when the power was out in many homes. But we had a wonderful first date at the local On the Border restaurant. My lucky day…
I used the Lensbaby Twist 60 for all images, but the second two were done with macro lenses.
When I was experimenting with the Twist 60, I tried it with my beautiful and fragrant Freesia flowers. The first image was taken at F2.8 from about the minimum distance this lens can handle. Post processing in Lightroom, On1 Effects and Topaz Studio.
For the second image I placed the +4 macro filter on the lens, and this is the image I created (same post-processing):
There is definitely a lot of potential in this lens for me. I’ll share more images in the coming days.
Which image do you like more?
