Valentines Day.....

So its Valentines Day, what did you get your significant other? Right now I am waiting on one of Jeannie's presents I ordered for her to get here...probably going to be a day or so late, but its all good since I got her a Coach eyeglass case and some flowers already. I got my gift from her today...a new to me 70-210 f4 lens. This lens is awesome for being 20 years old...I love the push pull design and I am amazed at how fast the 1st gen AF motor is in it...a little noisier than the nifty fifty, but a lot better AF than the fifty has...I think I am going to get some really awesome images with this lens..only bad thing is I dont want to take it off my 30D now...lol anyone want to buy me another body...lol

I like to keep my images simple. I don't like cluttered backgrounds. 2. I dislike blown out skies so I use flash a lot out doors. 3. I dislike using textures and selective coloring. I want my images to stand out on their own with out a lot of effects. 4. I love black and whites & vignettes. 5. I shoot a lot in portrait orientation, probably 90% of the time. 6. I dislike shooting with a tilt. 7. I like my images to be contrasty. 8. I like longer focal lengths, I use my 85mm 1.8 a lot for portraits and here recently I have been using my 70-210mm f4 a lot. 9. I love shooting portraits wide open, especiall...

Its crazy...

I know this is supposed to be my photography blog, but I have been to pre occupied with the loss of my bestest pal to do much shooting. Today I was out in the yard with Bella, our other chihuahua, and the neighbors came out and asked about Charlie.  They were upset that he didn't make it. They told me how he made their day when he was outside and would bark at them.
