Topaz Adjust « It's My Nature

Two More

… Lensbaby images. I hear the groans. I understand. I attended a presentation last night by Tony Sweet, he of the workshop I attended back in late October and one heck of a photographer. He also happens to be a Lensbaby “guru” and presented some Lensbaby images during the course of his presentation.

I also had [...]
