Here are a couple of photos from last Sunday. This family is awesome, from the grandparents to the kids. Thankfully they helped hold my softbox and reflector to keep them from flying down the windy beach. Taken with the Canon 60D and the Canon 50mm 1.4.

Lensbaby Composer Pro with Sweet 35 Optic and Macro Converters

Photos by Bo Bozeman

The Lensbaby Composer Pro is a welcomed upgrade from the Lensbaby Muse. Not that there is anything wrong with the Muse but you get much more control with the Composer Pro. The build quality of the metal design feels solid. It moves smoothly and is easy to lock in place.

The Sweet 35 has 12 aperture blades and an aperture ring on the optic so it’s just a few clicks from f2.5 to f22. This works much better than the manual drop in aperture rings on other Lensbaby optics. I would love to see more optics in their line that used this design. I also purcahsed their new Macro Converter set that comes with one 8mm converter and one 16mm converter that can be stacked to 24mm’s.

I haven’t had this lens long but the short amount of time that I have used it has been a blast. I am looking forward to getting familiar with this lens. I know it's easy to get tilt shift or selective focus effects in Photoshop but isn’t it more fun to be shooting rather than editing.

Trouble for Kodak

Photos by Bo Bozeman

I was going through an old camera bag tonight when I came across seven rolls of Kodak 400 and Max 400 film. I could not help to think about Kodak’s troubles. I have not used 35 mm film in years but there is a resurgence of film shooters happening now. Kodak also supplies the full frame sensor that powers the Leica M9 which is one of the most coveted cameras on the planet. I wonder who will make the sensor for next upgrade in Leica's line up.

More Than Dogs

Photos by Bo Bozeman

A friend asked me why do you take so many photos of dogs. I thought well they are always around, everywhere I go I am a few feet away from a dog. They are easy targets that may not do exactly what you want but they never complain. So I decided to embrace it, plus how else am I going to land a lucrative photography gig with Dog FancyThere is no denying the special relationship between dogs and humans that makes them more than dogs.
