120 film is a type of medium format film that was introduced in the beginning of the 20th century by Kodak. At the time, it was used all over the world by amateurs as well as professionals. Later on 120 film was gradually replaced by 35 mm film as the most popular format. Today the digital cameras have taken over and film photographers are rare. But there is actually a small community still committed to the 120 film format. And according to me, this community is growing and 120 film is once again gaining more attention. As an effect to the accelerating digitalization in the society, the retro trend has grown stronger during the last decade. And as a result of that, analog film photography has come back into fashion.

Dog agility photography is not the easiest of skills to master. The speed of the dogs, together with the pace at which dogs change in the ring, means the photographer needs to be on the ball all the time, and ready for any eventuality. When the dogs start, get your focus on the first jump or obstacle. Do this by focusing on the top bar of the jump, or the equipment where you want to capture the dog. With a DSLR this is easy to achieve, by half pressing the shutter button. Then when the dog is in position to jump, fully press the shutter. Remember, due to the speed of the dogs, you need to release the shutter just before the action you want to capture. Then move onto your next jump and next. With practice, this becomes easier.

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.
