The Universal Expansion Pack with Shapes from Lensbaby adds mirrored colored shapes, plus clear shapes with diffractive edges for a variety of flare effects. It also adds an infinitely configurable light leak, variable contrast, and bokeh-modifying shapes to the robust selection of custom designed special effects already available in the OMNI Filter system.
Two low profile universal clamps plus two universal clamps on handles let you mount flat or cylindrical items up to 1/4-inch thick into the OMNI Filter's magnetic filter system. Securely hold the desired shoot-through items exactly where they provide the desired effect, while freeing up both hands to work unencumbered while photographing a subject through your unique vision. In addition to the four universal clamps, The Universal Expansion Pack with Shapes includes two more long extension arms that make it possible to center even the largest shaped insert over the front of a lens, plus two magnetic bases and an array of shaped small and large inserts to get quickly adjustable, repeatable effects that were previously difficult, if not impossible, to create. The eight shaped inserts range from a long, skinny blue and silver mirror full of Swiss-cheese-like holes of various sizes to reflective grids in silver, purple, and gold that can be shot straight through for textures and selectively reduced contrast or at an angle for partial reflection effects reminiscent of light leaks.
For more options, look no further than your local craft store or even the bottom of your purse. Reflective, faceted, and translucent items of all colors, shapes and sizes abound that can be held in place with an OMNI System universal clamp. If it's heavy or flexible, try two, or even three clamps at once to securely hold any found and self-made objects in front of the lens to affect a small portion of the photos or the entire image. Whatever unusual look you achieve, the OMNI System leaves your hands free to shoot while it does the work of holding the reflective, diffractive, and optical elements exactly where you want them, in front of and to the side of your lens, for unique, fine-tunable creative effects.
Add multiple OMNI wands from our previous OMNI kits and expansion packs to layer faceted crystal and prism effects with reflections.
