My new Babies…
I have this amazing session I shot 2 weeks ago of my girls. Every single time I sit down to edit this session I get distracted. So this morning I was working hard despite Charlotte pulling on my swivel chair screaming “ooh you hep me?” “mommmmyyyyy!!!! ooh you hep me?!!!” translation, “will you help me?” I still don’t know what she wanted help with. But I decided at about the same moment the doorbell rang… she needed some attention. I open the door and low and behold… my new babies, just sitting there. I blow a kiss to the UPS man. (not really, but I was tempted). I sweep them up in my arms, scavenge for the scissors. Tear open the box and *sigh*
Quickly, this became a win win. Char needed some attention. And so did my new babies. So we went outside to play in the street. I was curious to see how the new 135 handled my not so beautiful street. So I slapped it on my new 5D mark II and…. i think i am going to keep her. She did a lovely job. Her bokeh, fabulous. These are mostly straight out of camera. It was cloudy and the AWB shot them a little too cool- so I adjusted the white balance in Lightroom. Do you love her? not char, but the 135?
and here is Char posing with her new sisters. I don’t know why she is taking her pulse.
while we were taking portraits, I decided my 50mm needed some lovin’ too. Isn’t she lovely?
Now, I didn’t play with the 35mm. Mostly because I am aware of its skilz. I have been drooling over it for a long time. My new friends Todd and Jamie convinced me that I needed to go ahead and splurge for the 135 too. In blind faith, I did. And I am so very glad.
