For 200 smackers, this lens can do astrophotography, liminal space photography, is a good walk around lens AND can even shoot close up with a little funky character to boot. This is not a clinical lens.
This is a play lens.
TWO MORE SLEEPS.
PS: If you're wondering if a Minion can fit inside a bagel hole, why yes. Yes he can. If you're further wondering if Thing can sit on top of Potato Man's head without falling off ....
Also a yes.
Glad you are having fun! And I can't wait to see what you do with it!
ReplyDeleteHi Mari! Much thanks. Me too!
DeleteGirl...you know you bought that new lens and I love that you are having so much fun with all of your photography... I've kinda put my lens and camera on hold until after I know more about what we have ahead of us with Sam's medical needs. In the meantime, I'm gonna keep watching you take amazing pictures and totally enjoying what you do. Can't wait to see the minion inside of the bagel.... Have Fun!!!
ReplyDeleteI really am. I've always done photos but this whole learning flash is new, new, new. It's so much fun!
DeleteThat's understandable about Sam's health. Sending you lots of love and huggs along with a Minion in a bagel!
Sounds like a lot of good things and fun things are going on in your life right now and THAT'S GREAT!
ReplyDeleteOMG OMG OMG OMG. Cannot wait.

DeleteI'm curious about this lens. I can't wait to see what you do with it. It sounds like you will have some fun play on your vacation. :)
ReplyDeleteMe too. Partly why I got it was to play on vacation.
DeleteVery cool!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Linda! One more sleep to go!
DeleteI remember way back to the 80s when my mum went nuts buying lenses that could do weird things, like put rainbows in photos or take one shot and the photo would come out with three overlapping images. She loved it, I hated it. But I think I would love a lens that can do astrophotography.
ReplyDeleteI've ever heard of rainbows on photos. Sounds like she had a fun time of it.
DeleteYes, astro is all new for me. Excited to give it a go.
I love your photos. Enjoy that lens!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteEnjoy your new lens!
ReplyDeleteMuch thanks!
DeleteThis photo gave me a big smile for which I thank you, I love it! Exciting getting your new lens, I'm happy for you and felt quite excited as I remember when we used to get any new camera equipment back in the day. Wishing you many hours of joy with it my friend :)
ReplyDeleteThere really is something fun about getting a new bit of kit. Thank you for the wishes of fun. Huggs and love your way.
DeleteHave a heap of fun.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I thought of you this past winter when I shot a frozen bubble.
DeleteIt sounds like you are having a lot of fun with the photography. And you are about to start having even more fun in two more sleeps. Good to know all those things and I'm glad you shared that info with us. I always wanted to know if a Minion could fit inside a bagel hole. :)
ReplyDeleteI am. I always shot but I didn't always understand light and much of the math. It's great fun to learn. lolololol on the Minion in the bagel. lololol.
DeleteWell, now I want to see the photos!
ReplyDeleteYou always talk of moving, but seeing what your back yard looks like, why would you? Just build a bigger house right there!
HiYa Alex! Sadly, those woods back there aren't ours. Wish they were.
DeleteThis all sounds exciting - new photos hopefully to share with us all!

ReplyDeleteThanks, Lori! Tim has ten days off. Gonna be great.
DeleteHow fantastic that must be and to be going away on holiday where, you see different things to photograph is also exciting. Maybe they will have minions that fit inside Polo Mints where you are gong.

ReplyDeleteHi Kathy. I wish I could take credit but those are from Dunkin'. They were gooooood too.

ReplyDeleteHey Ginny. Just got back from your blog. Sending you guys love, huggs and healing wishes.
DeleteGood choice.
ReplyDeleteHey William.Thanks!
DeleteBack in the days of 35mm SLR photography and later digital photography I can well remember HOW excited I was to get a new pens, filter or some other piece of equipment so I know how you feel, Ivy. Wishing you a lot of fun and photos and looking forward to your sharing here. These days, I have far less equipment than years ago, just a couple of compact cameras and no extra lenses.
ReplyDeleteI recall the day before DSLRs. I had those cameras as well. They were fun too. Did you sell your old kit? The mirrorless I have is compact though can also change lenses. Very nice to carry about.
DeleteThanks for stopping in and boogie boogie.
