The [1D] X Faktor "Cannon"

 This is it. The big cannon in the arsenal. The ultimate shooter for the X Faktor.

More to come...

Endeavors

Personally,  I enjoy my time creating art through a glass perspective...up close, way close.  So, it makes sense that I should have this lens in my arsenal.

The Canon MP-E 65mm 1-5x Macro lens

50 Prime

Four 50mm 1.4 lenses: (from left) Sigma, Canon, Nikon, Pentax

I got my tax refund and invested in a Sigma 50mm F1.4, and I found it to be fast, heavy, and sturdy. At 1.4 it can be quite ethereal with bright light sources and hotspots. It has a large 77mm filter size, which I have a multicoated UV and 8-point star filter for. Sweet lens.

A new path.

Photographically speaking. This would be in reference to the Sigma 50mm f/1.4 I just ordered, and the fisheye that i'll hopefully order soon within a few weeks. I plan on shooting everything with the 50, perfecting my prime methods. I never had a lens with an aperature wider than 2.8, (Sigma's 17-70) which was awesome, so this lens should be real sweet! I wish for these Sigma lenses over the times:
-17-70 2.8-4 OS HSM
-105 2.8 OS HSM EX MACRO
-180 3.5 IF EX MACRO
- 70-200 2.8 EX
- 8mm 3.5 Circular Fisheye

And any old metal FD (film) lenses I can get.

Awesomeness-day

Big Day! I got my new Canon 7D with 28-135mm lens for $440 less than everywhere! Got a nice Sigma 530 DG Super flash to go with it, along with a Manfrotto Modo monopod, all in all saving over $580 on brand-NEW equipment!

Along with getting my amazing, and I mean AMAZING camera, I also got the opportunity to work with a wedding photography business, and help shoot next month, and also do a shoot that's TBA! Thank God!

Man & Machine: In His Element

My grandpa with his new Nikon D90, still one step ahead of me, in his element.  We were having a grand 'ol time with the large family of mine and got some excellent photos.  I love these photos of my grandpa, my still very active and smart grandpa.  From the silver hair to the wrinkles and the grin of satisfaction, he shows so much definition in these photos.  A very wise human being indeed.

The Nikon D90 is a nice camera, but I'll stick with my Sony Alpha, for more than just the financial reason.
