Got Caught Proud- Owning a 1950 Chevy Deluxe Named Buttercup So  there we are, proud-owning other people's cars as usual.   Until today, we had never been caught. We're not sneaky, just fast.   We were driving up North Williams Street today when I noticed a beautiful butter-yellow  1950 Chevy Deluxe  parked on the side of the road.  I told Josh to turn around and lets go proud own that car!  We turned around and parked a few cars behind it on the street.  I took two shots of Josh standing in front of the car. Then two people walked up behind me, a woman's voice saying " Will you send us the photo? ".  I turn around to see the lovely couple walking towards the car, and me.  She then proceeded to tell me that her (the car) name is  Buttercup , and that she and her husband were celebrating their anniversary this evening.  Then asked us if we'd like to get in the car and have our photo taken with it.  How could we resist..?!  Oh my goodness, thanks so muc

Sweet Spot: Lens Review for The Lensbaby Sweet 35 Optic The  Lensbaby Sweet 35 Optic  is my favorite Lensbaby lens optic to date   A lot like one of the very first Lensbaby optics called the  Double Glass Optic    It differs in being a significantly wider image, and has a noticeably more crisp selective focus "sweet spot" *  Focal Length: 35mm *  Aperture range: f/2.5 - f/22 *  4 multi-coated glass elements *  Focuses from approximately 7.5” to infinity from the front of the optic when used with Composer Lens * All photographs below taken with the Canon 5D Mark II, using both the Composer and the Composer Pro Lenses with the Sweet 35 Optic * Photography by  destiny Lane
