Macro

Tonight I had a chance to do some macro photography, it's not very easy... It takes a lot of practice. I only decided to stay indoors for now and try objects that don't move. Maybe in the future I'll try some insects.

A new era...


Right now I'll be trying to use my 85L more often. It's kind of hard for me to adjust I normally carry my 24-70 an the zoom is just great but I need to adjust to the quality of the Prime and keep it going. Also I'll be selling my 1.8 50mm and an 80mm 1.8 that I really don't use. May be that way I can get a better 50mm... we will see. I need to sell a bunch of crap. I need to create a new soft box and a frame for my backdrops.



Did I say that I love the 85mm?

Playing with the 85L


I had some free time tonight so I decided to play with my 85L. It is a very heavy lens a very slow auto focus but mostly used for portraits so you will be fine. I will have some examples of it soon.


I think is almost as heavy as my 24-70 but it is a very sharp lens!



Here is a sample at a very low light:



f stop 1.2
ISO 640
exp time 1/80 sec

Friday 13th






Well I’m hoping I get to edit the pictures from the auto show today and will see how they came out.

I only had my 17-40 f4 with me, as well as the 580EXII. I actually got behind the ropes a few times to take pictures. It's nice when you're a freelance photographer and you have nice equipment - people see you like you're there for business!

Anyway, pictures will be posted tomorrow evening. Tonight is dinner with the family for my B-day….
