I know a lot of people are ga-ga for that effect, and have lensbabies to accomplish it. It's interesting, but not my thing. Still I can pass on the lensbaby reccomendation. I've thought of getting one just because it is an inexpensive interesting toy, and there isn't much in the camera world that is both interesting and inexpensive.
As I said, experiments. Not wedded to it at all ;-) .
I saw it all over the place in the latest Wegmans magazine, 'cause a lot of it was food plates and place-settings where they intentionally wanted to wipe the labels of things in the background like wine bottles. At this point I'm wondering how much of that was lens and how much was "photoshop".
My own photography, when aiming for something more artistically framed, tends to be along the lines of "would i use it as a windows desktop". It's one reason I rarely like taking "people" photographs (12,000 pictures from Italy and Cyd and I are in maybe 100 of them).
A point that irritated my brother to no end, since he wanted pix of us at the wedding, and we're only in something like five shots, despite all of his best efforts. ;)
