WHITE SANDS, New Mexico | RED + Lensbaby Burnside 35

Took a trip to New Mexico with my business partners to give a talk at the Borderlands Film Festival about the world of Music Videos featuring our best friend and director Ryan Valdez.

While in Las Cruces I had to come back to White Sands again. It had been almost a year since the first time I visited this magical place. Our beautiful friend Marina tagged along which made it so I didn't have to shoot dudes drinking beer all day.

White sands is a large gypsum deposit, the white material you make sheetrock wall paneling from. None of it got in my camera or clothes, it all just kinda rolled off. What a delight.

I thought this would be the perfect place to test my new Lensbaby Burnside lens. I brought only this lens with me so I could really get to know it. Close-up it has a beautiful spiral bokeh effect. I imagine this looks even better on a full frame sensor as opposed to my Red 6K APS-H sensor. Full frame would give you a larger view of the image circle to really show off the bokeh without being too close to the subject.
