This Hedgehog bloom was captured with a Lensbaby at 1:30pm under very bright sunlight. With any other lens, the harsh light would have been very unpleasant to look at but the Lensbaby has a way of taming the brightest of light. I’ve heard the term “bending” the light. However it does it, this ability makes the Lensbaby a great asset when you’re stuck shooting in the middle of the day. (tech FYI: Canon 5D MKII, ISO 200, Lensbaby G3 with 5.6 aperture disk and underexposed by one half stop).
