Lensbabies recently launched the Fifth Official Lensbaby Photo Contest. The theme of the competition is Creative Bokeh, and entries must be taken with a Lensbaby lens and a creative aperture. Entrants are encouraged to use the Lensbaby Creative Aperture Kit to cut their own apertures and capture original shapes and effects in blurred specular highlights. The kit works with Lensbaby 2.0 and 3G lenses. Lensbabies recommends that photographers using the Original Lensbaby craft their own aperture discs out of plastic, paper, or cardboard to participate in the contest. Photographs taken with standard round Lensbaby aperture discs are not eligible.The Lensbabies Web site will accept submissions until noon PDT on December 17, 2007. Lensbabies has invited PopPhoto.com Online Technology Editor Jack Howard to judge the submitted images on the basis of originality, visual impact, technical proficiency, and adherence to the Creative Bokeh theme. The photographer who submits the image he selects will be awarded a Manfrotto 718B tripod and a one-year subscription to Popular Photography & Imaging Magazine.
A Popular Vote Prize will also be awarded to the photographer who captures the image selected by members of the online Lensbabies Friends Forum. The Popular Vote winner will also receive a Manfrotto 718B tripod and a one-year subscription to Popular Photography & Imaging.
Winners will be announced on December 21, 2007: For complete contest rules, go to the Lensbabies Web site.
