Me and my boy

Sadly I haven’t had a chance to process or organize any personal photos lately that I’m backed up all the way to August. That includes photos of some of our newborn boy, Halloween pics when our kiddos were dressed up as Cinderella, a Pumpkin and Gus , trip to the zoo, fall pics, and Christmas. Hopefully, I can get to them soon and share some with you.

Here’s a pic of me and my older boy I came across last night. It was taken on his birthday last month by my wifey and I love it! I love tickling him and hearing his laugh.

In case you were wondering, this was taken with the Canon 85mm f/1.2 L II lens at f/2.0 on my 1D Mark II N. I borrowed this lens for a week to test it out and it makes beautiful pictures as you can see. This photo is basically straight out of the camera. I just warmed up the white balance a little and sharpened it for web. The sharpness, color saturation and bokeh is wonderful. But the auto focus was painfully slow for me to consider purchasing this. For me the Canon 85mm 1.8 is the winner over the 1.2.

Here’s a blog post for hobbyist on some lenses under $500 that I’d recommend.
