Lensbabies + K-x : A Test

After a short break from using my Lensbaby, finally I’ve ‘migrated’ the cool lenses to Pentax mount and since the K-x will be almost ‘permanently married’ to the Lensbabies … I had to give it a test run to figure out how the camera will meter with the lenses. Lugged the setup to Malaysia during the weekend … hoping to be able to find time to take some shots and get used to the new combo … time somehow zapped past real fast and I ended up with only a handful of photos.

One thing I realise is that when using the Lensbaby on the K-x in Aperture Priority (A) mode … I will need to dial the exposure compensation to +3. Otherwise metering goes all crazy. Of course using it in Manual mode solves this problem but I’d prefer to use the easier method (A mode).

This one above is my favourite shot from this batch. It ain’t easy photographing the kiddos (this lil girl is my bro’s precious) because somehow they seem to look at the camera for a fraction of a second before running away. Maybe I should add some blinking LEDs on my cam to attract them next time.

Every minute was like so busy when I was back in my hometown visiting my parents, so the only ‘models’ I had were Fitzand and his cousin sister … Zaydeen. The biggest shit I had when photographing them was that my bro’s maid keep appearing behind them when I wanna take photos … as if she wants to be included in the shots. Few times I asked her to move away but later on … she automatically appears. Duh!

After this round of testing and getting used to the options on the camera, I hope I can start putting the Lensbabies to better use from now on. After converting the Composer and Muse to Pentax mount … I suddenly realised that I do not have one with Canon mount for my film SLR! Damn! This means I’ll have to go change the mount every time I wanna use it on my SLR. No … don’t ask me to buy a Pentax film SLR!
