Found eggshell triptych - Lensbaby aperture test

            I was out walking the other day and came across this bird's eggshell. It had one end broken out of it, hopefully by a successfully hatched chick, but the other end was intact. I took it home thinking I may do something with it photographically. In the end I decided to use it to conduct a little test for my Lensbaby Velvet 56 lens as it's such a unique lens to work with. 

The only thing I manipulated on the camera was the aperture setting which is the control that most influences the 'look' of the lensbaby finished photo. All three were photographed the same distance from the eggshell, about 7 inches (18cm) from the subject. Believe it or not I focussed the lens to be as sharp as possible for all 3 aperture settings. But it's evident from the results just what a difference those aperture settings make.
