      I bought all 3 sizes and have only,occasionally,used 2 at a time.Haven’t found much use for the Mini one yet,and the only one that my assistant/wife can hold is the middle sized one,and she gets tired holding that one as they are surprisingly heavy. I bought the mounts/stands and have rarely used them. One thing you have to be careful of is if the sun hits the Lensball at a certain angle while someone is holding it,it gets really hot really quick. Had my wife wear a glove,so that I don’t have to pay attention to her skin tone when editing.

        Really great. Love denim Macro photography,which I had never seen before Iron Heart. Keep at it. I think there  might be an IH Macro Photography thread which I contributed to years ago. I’ll look around. @weftyarn I found it and tagged you. Maybe we can resurrect it. Called Macro shots of Iron Heart Gear.

        Awesome!! Another thread I can go full spam mode on 😂
        Great shots there…

        Also, great lens ball work again, @Jett129

        Use it or lose it.

          Long time no post… Was on a business trip for a few days. I love to take out the camera when switching trains and waiting by the platform. Theres something aesthetic about train stations and the people moving in them.

          I wanted to travel light so I chose the 35mm 1.4 7Artisans over my “heavy” 23mm 1.4…

          // Bremen

          // Osnabrück

          // Bielefeld

          Use it or lose it.

                      Great shot, James. I quite like it! I see what you did there. Having something blurred in the foreground is something I also do from time to time.

                      While I like the stand in the bottom right, that doesn't interfere with the subjects (only with the white background),
                      my eyes have a little bit of a problem with the red top right object interfering with the blue of the jeans.

                      Did you shoot it from an angle purposely?

                      The only thing I would try is moving just a tad left and tilting the cam to the right so it aligns with the lines on the floor and looks perfectly perpendicular to the wall. 😉
                      That should also do the trick to separate the red from the blue in the top right.

                      Use it or lose it.

                        yes shot it at a angle on purpose see what you mean about the light shade being on the jeans .

                                I’m a big fan of reflective photography,also love the puddle reflection shot you did. Only/best way to learn is to take pictures,and you’ll see what work’s/doesn’t work and what is pleasing to your eyes. Over time you’ll develop a style of photography that’s unique to you. Keep at it.

                                      Thanks @ROman 👍 got to get some pictures of my other boys and my wife now lol ..
                                      @weftyarn what do you do with all the pictures you like you’ve taken?
                                      I don’t want to upload them to a computer or USB do you think it’s a good idea to make a new Instagram page ( private) and upload them there?

                                            Thanks so much. Over the Summer they started this thing called The Circuit in Asbury Park,NJ,which is something that had previously existed in the 60s and 70s. Just an informal meet up of guys with their cars. If I’m in the area,I go and bring my camera. They’re on social media..FB and IG as well.
