Lensbaby: Creative photography without Photoshop
One of the most beautiful ways of firstly capturing a viewer's attention, and then secondly drawing their attention to a specific element of a photograph, is to use a very selective focus. Fast lenses with a large maximum aperture can achieve this for you - but only in a very predictable, linear way, between the camera, the subject and it's background.
Lensbabys allow a lot more creativity with a selective focus - in a way which is almost inexplicable with conventional photographic equipment. Therefore images taken with a Lensbaby can be a lot more creative, captivating and mysterious.
The lensbaby USA website is an excellent source of information, offering everything from examples of images taken with different lensbabies, newsletters, lessons and depth of field/apperture comparisons.

Manufacturer's description:
With the Composer, Lensbaby introduces a completely new lens, based on a ball and socket configuration that delivers smooth selective focus photography with unparalleled ease. The new Composer retains its position after being bent and is easy to use even with one hand. Photographers no longer have to squeeze the lens to focus, but can simply tilt the lens to a desired angle and then focus with a traditional barrel focusing ring. The Composer stays in the desired bent position without requiring a locking mechanism and features the new Lensbaby Optic Swap System.
The Composer features a unique manual focus design which requires more rotation to move the optic as you approach infinity. This makes it easier to focus on objects at intermediate and distant depths than regular manual focus lenses.
The Composer comes with the Double Glass Optic installed.
