Big Game

This is why I have fallen in love with the 35mm! Walking around the Carnival with the 18-200 was fun, but it restricted me to only shooting with a tripod (4.5 was too slow to hand hold even with VR). But with the 35mm cranked down to f1.8, almost anything was possible. Also the sweet Bokeh it creates is just amazing. I got to use a 70-200mm f2.8 on Sunday at the class, and when I can save enough money (and it may be a while), that's definitely going to be my next lens. I could hand hold it on almost every shot without even worrying about the shutter speed (something not possible with the 200-500mm).

Finally, I also want to direct some traffic over to my buddy Sam's website www.stricklerphotography.com, he's been doing some amazing work lately, and I hope that he can continue (Lee, its time to start a website!).
