So this week consisted of a great deal of me sitting in the office while great weather was happening outside. But what can you do? I suppose things need to get done. One of the things that I haven’t been working on is my shots from the mountains last weekend. But doing a quick scan through the photos, I pulled this one out. This was when we were in Lake Louise wandering around. I had the 75 to 300 mm Lens on the camera cause we were trying to grab photos of this horse shit eating bird, (it was a long day) when I looked across the yard and there was this guy.
Camera: Canon 1D Mark II
Aperture: 5.6
Shutter: 1/250
Lens: 75-300mm @ 300mm
ISO: 50
Date Taken: April.30.2005
And then there is this shot from a photoshoot that I did a couple weeks ago with the ever-lovely Mandy Baker!
Aperture: 2.8
Shutter: 1/200
Lens: 24-70mm @ 62mm
ISO: 125
Date Taken: April.25.2005
Today is looking like it will contain a lot more of the “in-the-house while it is nice outside” kinda work, but what can you do! Oh Yeah! We totally bought another lens. (I know we are crazy) We got a 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM
Now I know that this is mostly Greek to most. But it is a longer lens that is super fast @f/2.8, and it has internal image stabilization, which will allow for longer shutters while still keeping the image sharp. Reports online say that we should gain 2 to 3 stops, which is the difference between 1/125 and 1/15
Super excited; it should be here on Monday.
