Lensbaby Velvet 56

I have a new tool in the toolbox , courtesy of a late but welcome Xmas present !

The Lensbaby Velvet 56mm creative art lens is a handmade ,totally manual lens designed to give a velvety effect and ethereal glow .So far the results are fun! I am looking forward to learning how to make the most of the specialised optics of this addition to my camera bag!
