Rock Band

I saw this photo on my camera tonight and totally forgot that I even took it.  I swear I wasn’t drunk. Seriously, its impossible to play this game and drink. You dont have enough hands! Anyway, we all started playing rockband at around 11pm and the next thing I knew it was 3am! I put a strobe behind Ash (Ringo Starr) to give it the concert look.

New Gear

I got a new lens last week: Sigma’s 50mm 1.4 I have only owned Canon lenses to this point, but so far I am really impressed with this product. Canon has a 50mm 1.4 lens, but from what I could tell, produces mediocre photos; especially with a $300 price tag. It’s obvious that Canon puts a majority of their effort into the “L” series lenses. Don’t get me wrong; it’s an astonishing line but they’re expensive. It’s nice to see a 3rd party company realize, and fill, a gap in the product line in terms of quality and price. Good job Sigma! Both of these shots are stopped down to 1.4. While other lenses will get soft at this aperture the Sigma remains fairly sharp.

ps. This is really the only “hood” you can live in Portland.
