me personally I rarely use BW unless Im trying to hide a mistake, emphasize lines or showcase something classic. Usually however when I use BW its usually to hide an mistake.
i guess im all about b&w because thats where i started in photog class back in the ol 35mm dark room days i guess im all about the feeling that a nicley done bw gives like a subtle sorta calmness or something
I had to develop my on film and work with B&W 7 years ago or so. Im all for color. :D
DSLR is a relatively new venture for me. Took me two events to get the hang of it and understand its limitations.

weeee

Yeah if you're gonna do a bunch of photoshopping, then save some money and go buy a point-n-shoot.

I see. still not diggin the lensbaby effect.
reminds me of radial blur or that effect they use in photo booth for macs. Mac users will know what im talking about

as with soft focus, tilt shift, lens baby may have been cool prior to photoshop filters. but since all three effects can be very easily replicated in photoshop in a matter of seconds to any photo, its nothing special.

i personally don't but it looks pretty cool, a little worried though since it claims to be a winde angle/ fisheye/ and macro for that cheap. but it only fits 67mm lenses?

Lemme put it to u this way, any lens that has to screw onto another lens, isn't really a lens. Ha ha

That lens basically screws onto ur stock lens and then pretends to be a fisheye. The lens is crap, the glass is crap, ur gonna get mass amounts of vignetting, the color abboration is gonna be insane, and ur gonna be wasting ur money.

Hey little one, are you there on vacation or MOVED? If you moved, I'll be sad & I'll miss seeing you at shows with your brother (even though we only hung out for a bit at one).
