Here are some more information for Set Holga:

In the internet world, no online multi-level marketer will ever achieve high sales or sustained increasing sales without driving traffic or number of online users in the hosted web site or blog site. It is similar to conventional marketing. Those who have posted billboards in high traffic areas often capture higher sales than those in isolated areas. Those who have advertised ad campaigns in top 1 TV network often gain higher sales than in top 10 TV network. It is traffic that will most probably prelude sales.

There are various methods to garner traffic and sales. Method can either be creating a user-friendly web page or get your web page listed in the search engines or pay multi-media publishers. Those are expensive, but there too are cheaper and even free methods. Cheap methods can either be just email marketing or attaching web site links as signature in emails or joining in free social networks.

The cheap methods have not been so effective, except for social networks. Most emails, often forwarded with marketing content, instantly go to trash. Attached links often do not grab email readers to click on them.

Social networks however are gaining more popularity. It basically connects your multi-level marketing to a wide network of consumers and users. That is why more small and medium entrepreneurs are joining the social networks. What used to be personal sites for individual suddenly became a venue for business groups and community.

More trading of products and even services were done through these social networks. I myself have bought my Holga 120 GN through Multiply. Products and services from small and medium entrepreneurs or companies are easily found in social networks than search engines.

Search engines, which also list products, are expensive. And if products can be listed in search engines like Google or Yahoo, links to the web page of the products are most probably listed in 50th set of search finds.

Small and medium-produced products are easier found in social networks because there are fewer lists unlike in giant search engines. And entrepreneurs who are member in social networks does not have to generate traffic.

Here's to your success.

About The Most Fun You Can Have With Your Lens On – Lensbaby Digital Camera Lenses

Right this minute there is a DSLR camera gathering dust on a shelf. It was purchased this last year because the photographer wanted to step up from a compact to get better pictures. There was no disappointment, the pictures that the photographer takes are better. Yet the camera is still stuck in a closet waiting for the next holiday or event.

 

It's a shame, really, because the camera could be enjoyed so much more if the photographer could be freed from the ‘just another snapshot' frame of reference. By adding just a little creative thought and spending just a little time the camera could do so much more than just keep records of birthday parties. Usually it just takes a spark and soon after the photographer becomes a whirlwind of creative experimentation.

 

That creative spark can come from a thousand different directions and we will touch on several in future articles. However today we are going to look at the Lensbaby line of creativity tools. For a growing number of photographers their first use of a Lensbaby lens isn't so much like a spark to tender, it's more like a blowtorch to a can of gasoline. The moment the photographer straps a Lensbaby to the front of their camera ‘regular' photography flies out the window.

 

So just what is a Lensbaby? Lensbaby is actually an entire line of image modifying products based around three distinct lenses. The concept is that the three core lenses are able to bend, rotate or flex with the outcome that only selected portions of the scene will be in focus. The photographer has control over the point in the scene that is in focus and how large that area is.

 

The three core lenses, or more accurately lens bodies, are The Muse, The Composer and The Control Freak. All three lenses mount to a camera just like the standard kit lens does. There are major differences in camera handling once a Lensbaby is on the camera. First, say goodbye to autofocus, there isn't any. Next full Program mode and all of those easy icon exposure modes go away too. A Lensbaby is at its most automatic in aperture priority (Av) mode and manual exposure is even better. Let's look at the three lens bodies.

 

The Muse is the simplest of the trio and looks like nothing more than a light-tight slinky. The Muse can be stretched or compressed for focus and the front element tilted in 360 degrees to select the point of focus. The more eccentric the tilt is to the front element the shallower the area of sharp focus. The Muse cannot be operated hands-free, the photographer always has to support and tweak the front element to gain focus and desired blur. The Muse is the least expensive of the Lensbaby line.

 

The next step up the ladder is The Composer. The Composer replaces the plastic slinky body of The Muse with a ball and socket arrangement. In addition there is a focusing ring for manual focus. The Composer will have the same effect on an image as The Muse, but since there is a focus ring and the ball and socket can lock down in position The Composer can be locked into place and used hands-free.

 

The third Lensbaby is The Control Freak. The Control Freak returns to the flexible slinky look of The Muse but adds a locking ring and three threaded adjustment controls. As the name implies, The Control Freak is about precision and repeatable outcomes. The Control Freak is the most expensive Lensbaby in the core group. There are other lens bodies available from Lensbaby but these three mentioned are the primary components.

 

Several times I have referred to ‘lens bodies' and that is a good description of the Lensbaby trio. This is because the photographer can change the optics in the lens bodies at any time. The basic lens kits all come with a sharp two element Double Glass lens, but there are a total of six optics available: Double Glass, Single Glass, Pinhole / Zone Plate, Soft Focus, Fisheye and Plastic. Each set of optics bring a different and distinct flavor to the table.

 

To change out optics it merely requires a 10 degree turn to the left of the optics group installed in the lens body and then an opposite turn to install the next optics package. The accessory lens group is packaged in a holder that has the required three-prong lens tool molded into the case.

 

I have used all of the Lensbaby versions and I decided to stick with The Composer, it allowed me to shoot on a tripod and use a shutter release. I also selected the Plastic Optic and the Pinhole / Zone Plate Optic sets. In addition Lensbaby offers a close-up lens filter set that I purchased and I'm glad that I did, the Lensbaby without the filter set only focuses down to about 2 feet.

 

The Plastic Optic immediately turned my 40D into a Holga-equivalent camera. Nice streaky blurs and distortions yet it can achieve sharper focus. I have found that I like the effect most when I use f/5.6 aperture. The Plastic Optic has a peculiar way of catching light and I have noticed differences in my images depending on which way the optic is mounted into the lens body.

 

The Pinhole / Zone Plate Optic is a blast! Imagine shooting at f/177 with the Pinhole in place, the entire world is in focus yet soft and dreamy too. Tilting the lens has little effect on the image. The Zone Plate on the other hand is about f/17 so tilts do change the area of focus. In addition the Zone Plate effect treats light like ripples in a pond; point light sources will show rings of alternating light and dark around the central illumination source.

 

Prices start at around $150 for The Muse, $250 on The Composer, and $350 for The Control Freak lens bodies with Double Glass optic. Accessory optics packages like the Plastic and Pinhole / Zone Plate optics can cost as little as $40.

 

In all, the Lensbaby system of lenses and optics open a wide new world of creativity. Photographers who are stuck for a creative spark will find Lensbabies to be a breath of fresh air. After using the lens system for several years I have yet to tire of the effects that I can create with mine.

there are three sets of them: the color, the soft ones, and the picture splitting ones. i know it has a breidf despcription but i was thinking about buying some and was just wondering what exatctly they do. particularly about the soft lenses. thanks!

Okay, I am assuming that you have a Holga, first of all, to use these filters you will have to get a holder for them.

Now, the tone and shade filters are probably like the color balancing filters used for SLR lenses. Often the sky and certain other subjects are difficult to expose properly so certain filters can be used to help.

The soft surround filter set sounds like a creative set that allow you to get that lensbaby effect of selective focus and also add vignetting to your images. Sounds like you get one with a normal clear center and the others have shapes. So the vignetting will have a shape.

And the split image filters will do just that. They create multiple images on the same frame. Some of them blend the images.
