So, with the acquisition of the new 70-200 VRII lens, I took a daring stroll around downtown San Jose, getting a few looks that said, "Maybe he's the paparazzi", or "He better not be taking a picture of me" or, even worse, "That gear looks expensive. Maybe I'd like to steal it."
Anyway, I booked it through downtown anyway and got a few shots that never would have come through so crystal clear on my 80-200 AF f/2.8. This new lens is AMAZING wide open.
Wowie-wow-wow this lens is freakin' awesome!
So, here's a few shots I recently grabbed with the new glass.
My beautiful wife. BEE-EEE-AYE-Yootiful. Day in, day out, dressed to go out on the town, or dressed in her PJ's. <3
Here's Pepe, aka The Peps, aka The Schleeples.
Here's a shot I really like. I was shooting in full manaul when I heard this plane fly overhead. Quickly snapping a shot I realized I totally over-exposed it. So in post, I brought the exposure down a full -3.00. Sometimes it pays off to not just delete the shot.
"An afternoon lunch walk."
"Leading Lines."
And some other randoms.
Let's see what's behind bell number...
This gentleman is a local. I see him pretty regularly. Definitely going to have to buy him a sandwich next time I see him.
Something a little more out of the ordinary for me, but it's good to expand your horizons once in a while.
