This is not my official review of the Soft Focus Optic for the Lensbaby, but we had fun playing with it last night. One of my favorite places so far on this trip to San Diego has been Chocolat, a creperie and gelato stop. It also features the greatest chai I may have ever had. And it can’t hurt that I can get a glass of wine with my delicious savory crepe! Stop # 1 was for salads for lunch. Stop #2 was savory crepes for dinner and a gelato for dessert. Stop #3 will be a sweet crepe. They are gigantic and far too big to have both a dinner and dessert crepe in one sitting.
Anyway – back to the Lensbaby! No pictures of food, but they have a gorgeous chandelier in Chocolat, and the wall is white marble with a pattern of little squares of textured glass. I love it! The soft focus optic adds that perfect glowing skin that we all want to images or a magical glow to anything else. Think “glamour shot” without all the extra Photoshop work. The softness, however is even throughout the entire image, so keep that in mind. I really enjoyed shooting lights with the soft optic. The multiple openings in the apertures create a floral bokeh, which I thought was perfect for the lighting. And when you flash right into someone’s glasses, the effects are hilarious (to me at least) 
So here are some of my favorites from last night! Just a fun little post, but plenty more to come later!
