The image was captured with a Fuji X-T4 using a Lensbaby Velvit 56 handheld. Since the lens does not communicate with the camera there is no metadata as to the f/stop used, however most of my images like these I get the best result at f/2.8 give or take 1/2 to 1 stop.

In order to soften the harsh sunlight I used a 12 inch "Impact" brand Diffuser attached to my Peak Design Travel Tripod with a Wimberley PP-200 Plamp ll.
In Lightroom I used the Fuji Velvia profile and did my initial editing here. I then opened the RAW file, from Lightroom, into Photoshop. Here I typically will use a High Pass filter generally between 8-15 to add back a little sharpness in a few selected areas. I they apply a black mask over that layer and paint in where I want the sharpness. I'll also use Topaz Photo AI to sharpen a few areas or reduce any noise and again mask out only the areas I want soft.

I'll then create that layer as a Smart Object and bring the image into NIK Color Effects PRO. I'll often add a slight glow and other slight effects such as darken the edges slightly.

Image _2CP6826-Edit was made in my front yard with a Fuji X-T4 and Lensbaby Velvet 56 It was quite overcast, perfect for flower imaging, so I didn't require a diffuser. This I captured between f/2.8 - 4 with the shutter speed of 1/2000 and ISO160
