Lensbaby Expands Omni System with Flare Wands
15 July 2020
Lensbaby has announced the its new Flare Expansion Pack with four handcrafted glass Effect Wands for the Omni Creative Filter System.
The expansion pack is designed specifically for Lensbaby's Omni Creative Filter System which allows you to create images and video with specially designed Effect Wands in a controllable and hands-free way.
"This set of four new Omni System wands, handcrafted by glass artists in Portland, Oregon, puts variable flare effects, ranging from a slight kiss of visual interest to wild explosions of points of light, at your fingertips," said Craig Strong, Lensbaby co-founder and chief creative officer.
"From stretching light sources in a single direction with straight cylindrical and flat surfaces, to moving that light in multiple axes with bent organically formed curves and orbs of glass, this new expansion pack provides you with limitless ways to create compelling flare in your video and still images."
Above are sample images taken with the new expansion pack by Anita Perminova, Ute Reckhorn, Anabel Deflux and Stephanie Defranco.
NEW WANDS
The Flare Expansion Pack includes four Effect Wands and Filters in a custom-designed pouch:
- Anamorphic Raindrop: Hand crafted with a "Raindrop" at the end to give you selective distortion with the body of the wand making cinematic flare out of your highlights.
- Prism Flare: Apply a prism effect to your stretched points of light, splitting them into tiny bits of rainbows that come and go when rotated.
- Zig-Zag: Make explosions of light while creating effects ranging from subtle to over-the-top based on the rotation and placement of its hand-crafted curves.
- Saber: Brush the highlights in impressionistic reflections while varying the length of streaky flare that shortens and lengthens when rotated.

Lensbaby said the Flare Expansion Pack is available today for $69.95. The Omni Creative Filter System itself retails for $99.95. Other expansion packs include the Color Expansion Pack ($69.95) and the Crystal Expansion Pack ($69.95).
