Two pics from tonight…

October 30, 2009

Here are two shots from tonight that I would like to share.


This was taken on the back-roads of Elgin TX, across a field.
Canon 30D + 85/1.8 – 1/500 – F/2.8

And this is a shot of my daughter. Lighting was done with a small halloween toy. Also, I did a bit of strategic desaturation… :) This is rapidly becoming part of my PP’ing style (in select situations)…
CanonĀ 30D w/ Siggy 24/1.8 – 1/50 – F2.2 – ‘natural’ light…

Pumpkin Carving…

October 30, 2009

When I got home from work last night, I found my wife and kids about to carve a pumpkin. Those are ALWAYS fun times, mostly because they are slimy, messy times! My favorite thing to do with my camera is to shoot candidly, so of course I did. (Pardon the mess, we are in the middle of something)

These are all with the Canon 30D and Sigma 24/1.8.
Strobist: What Strobist? These are all with ‘natural’ light, in the kitchen, after dark.

The 85/1.8 and the Bee…

October 30, 2009

I had to share this. I took it with the Canon 30D and Canon 85 F/1.8. This is almost a %100 crop (just under %100 to fit in this blog neatly) from a bigger shot, and I am amazed at the quality at full res. Wow!
