ok that is just scary!

great shot though!

thx! i was so creeped out by it i had to switch lenses so i could be further away

haha what lense do you typically use for close ups?

24-70 or 24-105 but 70-200 for close up portraits. my 50mm is 1.8 which rules in low light but the perspective can feel a little off.

like this shot was taken with the 50mm and those are two full size donuts:

that bacon between two donuts?

why yes it is. in a rented house with friends in vegas for a weekend and it seemed like a brilliant idea at the time.

i'm partial to the 50 because it's a prime lens. actually i like my 100mm for the same reason. i like the crispness of the 24-70 more though

his new 50mm lens

macro is wonderful

oh yeah, your glass came! where are your pics?

still reading the manual

also has to get the main body of the camera back from cleaning, tomorrow afternoon.

They got the dust off the CCD array -and- replaced the main mirror

which is excellent.

(the camera was reporting it had remapped over 15 dust particles)

thanks tech I just wonder what some people use is all

did you mention to it that it was a _butterfly_ bush?

jennr asks an important question which i have to say no to.

cool pic
