Bahbahra finding a seat

Its been a while since I shared any Photos of Bahbahra, so I thought this week to get some shots of her while trying out the Lensbaby trio 28 Lens I had in a draw and hadn't used for quite a while since the weather this last day was mostly dreary and bleak

The trio is a fun lens to play with when it's nice and sunny, but with the fixed aperture of 3.5 it's tricky to get good shots in darker weather, so these shots aren't great shots but I wanted to try something different and have some fun. so here goes.
Bahbahra like me can not sit still for long and even with the grey day sh needed to get up and out of the office today and spend some time out in the gardens, she was in no rush to head back into the building so thought she would look for somewhere to sit and relax, first she tried sitting on the railing by the East River, and enjoy the view, however she is so vain she wanted the focus on this photo on her and not the East River and the 59th Street bridge behind her.

For those that don't know and are probably thinking who the heck is Bahbahra, she is a little Fridge magnet I picked up in New Zealand about 15 years ago and occasionally take shots of and sometimes make little stories with, she is about 1inch tall but in her stories, she can be full of attitude.

This post is not so much a Bahbahra story but hopefully some fun photos

when the wind picked up she did not feel to safe sitting on the railing but noticed some seats down the path a bit and decided to try out one of those.

She was a bit dissapointed that that chair was not one size fits all, and it for sure was just a little bit big for her, so she moved on, and found this other plain bench, which she found quite comfortable

But then got worried the wet bench and the moss growing on the side may get into her fleece, so she looked for somewhere else to sit.
Now even though I explained her nest spot wasn't a chair, she did find it quite comfortable and was about to settle here for a while

But then she looked down, and noticed the Do Not Sign below her and although she can be a bit of a renegade at times, she decided, in this case, she should move on and found another comfortable spot to sit,

Now I thought She was so comfortable sitting there I would have trouble getting back inside and back to work, but then I pointed out what the sign said, now Bahbahra as you may know is quite small, especially in comparison to geese, which can also be very aggressive, and then she decided that for her safety perhaps heading back indoors was a good move.

Sorry the shots aren't that great, but I will be trying more Bahbahra shots and stories on nicer days so hopefully this is a teaser for more Bahbahra stories coming soon

And that’s all folks

Thanks for the resteem and support appreciated ;)

You have told me quite a while ago about Bahbahra, and now you have taken her out on a photo shooting :)
The lens baby does a really good job, I cannot understand, why you are not satisfied with the photos, but maybe I am distracted by the little beauty in the images. The photo where she is sitting on the mossy bench is my favorite.

I'd love to see and read more from Bahbahra and her adventures.

Question: Does she always know, where North is?

!ENGAGE 100

Yes It was good getting new shots of her, and no she knows very little not even which way is up and down let alone north and south :)

I think the lenssbaby I used for those shots needs better light the out of focus areas were more than I wanted and didnt give as much of the bokeh effect it can give, lets see how the few test shots I took today with one of the new lensbaby optics worked out with a sunny day and the ability to adjust aperture I was happier with it while shooting at least

I like the shots, but you are surely right, because I have never used a lens-baby, and I don't know, what this lens can do under better conditions 😁
It's great, that Bahbahra is back on your Blog 😄👍

Thanks, they were fun to do, with the challenging light it was actually fun trying to get OK shots and also since its manual lens it also reminds one of the techniques which was fun and good to do :)

I bet, it was fun - I cannot remember, when I shot last time with a manual lens. Did I say, that I like the photos? But I like darker photos anyway, and also vignettes ;)

Posted using Partiko Android

I to love vignettes but you probably have noticed that LOL

I have, of course :)

I don't always add them but more often than not I do :)

Ohh and thanks for the engage Tokens :)

You're welcome, I always forget about these.

Me to I have a burst and then forget about them LOL

That's awesome that you have kept Bahbahra for so long, I imagine she had seen more than any other fridge magnet.

Excellent pictures, and I enjoyed how you told a story with them :)

Posted using Partiko Android

Ohh yes she has traveled a lot I think i have been to maybe 15 countries with her :) and it is shown a little she is a little worn down, but still going strong and will feature in more photos ;) The taking of photos is the easy part for me writing stories is a challenge

Bahbahra Is quite cute. Who would have known from the first photo she is so wee. Obviously she is taking over the world with her big personality. ☺️

🐑

Ohh yeah she is tine and a bit worn with traveling in my Backpack every day, I do have a second one that someday I may have to start using which is in better condition,
ohh yes she is well traveled and known around the world ( more so in her mind than reality LOL)

Bahbahra lovely shots and I see she is keeping warm. Who created your little friend @tattodjay?

yes at this time of year she doesn't need the jumper, but after losing the scarf my wife also made for her I keep it on so I do not lose it.

I bought her in a Souvenier shop in New Zeland ;)

Ohh I do have fun taking shots and trying to make stories with Bahbahra, my plan is to try and do at least one post with her each month now
