If you’ve never heard of a Lensbaby, take a look at their website: http://lensbaby.com/

Infrared photos

wayne

About month ago I had an older camera converted to an infrared camera.  It took a couple of weeks and when I got it back I took it out for a few test shots. I can’t wait to use it for wedding shots.
