 Recieved a little gift in the mail today in the form of a Canon 85mm 1.8! Can you say "Woo Hoo!"? I've been drooling after this lens forever and for some reason my other half decided that he'd just surprise me with one. He's the best!! :) Well, it would have been a surprise if B&H hadn't called a couple of days ago to verify some shipping information. Doh!
But I don't care, it's here and I'm in love.

Of course I have to run out and play with it and the boys being the only ones around, well you know..... For some reason Mason was in a crazy mood today. Must have been all the crazy wind blowing around today. So, I thought I'd do a little collage of sorts. All of these were taken with the 85mm and then put together using Fotofusion. I only have the scrapbookers edition so it's limited but still very useful when it comes to doing things like this.

I still have some playing around to do with this lens. I need to find it's sweet spot. :) So expect more from it over the next few days.

Oh Jennifer!!!!!! What an AWESOME husband you have! I thought I HAD to have a macro lens as my next lens. . .but now I'm wondering about the 85mm 1.8. . .but course. . .here. . .it's really only in part the lens. Your son: this is the most delightful group of photos EVER! He is literally radiating childhood joy and innocence. And in Texas, where Fall and winter are sacred, this stirs such wonderful emotions watching him frolick around in autumn!

Also, I'm making a note to myself to find Fotofusion and check it out! that is AWESOME! AWESOME!!!

Dude!! (OK, dudette!) You got some GREAT shots with this puppy. Really nice. I love the whole collage, and I suspect there are several individual shots that rock larger as well (like the one walking away with the footsteps in the sand.) Really, really nice collection here. And I want that lens... I'm debating getting that as a present for myself when I get outta the desert.
