Lensbaby festival at Times Square

Today was a blast. I had so much fun trying out a lensbaby for 3 hours in Times Square I lost count of how many photos I did. Want to know: 236! This is going to be a looong post. Just kidding, I’ll just upload a few of them. For starters, the opening photo is a combination of lensbaby and panning. I am still trying to figure out how was I able to take this panning in just one try. Hey, sometime one gotta to be lucky!

The next two images were shot in ToysRUs, representing two action figures:

Superman

Starwars

The next two images present Times Square as we know it: busy, busy, busy:

Performance tickets

Crossing

The next one is another combination experiment. I took 5 frames of this photo at different exposure levels to get an HDR images. This was necessary to maintain detail in the foreground while not blowing up the distorted background. I think it turned out ok, although may be a bit noisy:

And to finish, guess whom I found around? Our old friend batman!
