What a Difference a Year Makes

Turn Around

Hey, guess what?
I updated my People gallery for the Halloween pictures.
That's a quick turn around for me, eh.
Go check them out.

Halloween on Church Street

One of the few things I love about living in the big city (being from the wilderness of northwestern Ontario originally) is the diversity.
And craziness.
I joined my local photography club last night to check out Halloween on Church Street.



It was so warped and freaky, that only a fisheye lens could capture it properly.
The costumes were amazing and everyone was so friendly.
I think I've found myself a new annual event.



I've included some pictures on my flickr to tide you over until I have a chance to update my site.

If I could love an inanimate object...

Tested my new F2.8L macro lens.
It has image stability.
The test shots looked fantastic.
Even at F2.8, when there is only a sliver of in focus area, I was able, hand-held, to place the focus right where I wanted it.



And the IS stopped me from blurring the image and from moving the focus point as I shook to take the shot.



Even with a 36mm extension tube, hand-held at F2.8, I was able to maintain the focus right where I wanted.



I am officially in love.
Mini - Darth Vader and Mini - Cylon never looked so good.

So I picked up another lens.



Can you guess which kind?
