There’s a weird little lens attachment you can get that is basically a close-up lens with a hole cut out of the middle. It’s *supposed* to give you a clear center and sort of blur everything else out into something gorgeous.

Turns out that when you use it on a macro lens, you get a halo of your subject (which makes sense thinking about the optics involved).

In this case, it gives a sense of motion where there was none.

In this case, the weird little lens thing sort of expands the flower. Still, a neat effect.

Some days it seems like, no matter how hard you try, you’ll never look like that picture.
