Finally Through My Photo Backlog

I finally plowed through all the photos I shot on vacation and the following weekend at my sister-in-law’s baby show (I didn’t shoot the shower, but got to do all the workflow on them anyway).  For our 10th wedding anniversary, my wife got me a Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L lens, and the trip was the first I got to use it.  It’s taking some getting used to since the depth of field on it when it is wide open is razor thin, but I’m happy with it so far.  It’s amazing how sharp stuff is straight out of the camera.  Here’s a photo of my son with his coveted tribal armband tattoo from vacation.  I’m pretty sure there is no sharpening applied to this at all.

I also got a great picture of the cake from the baby shower.  This is one of the few I personally took, but I wanted to play around a bit with the lens and my strobe.

Finally in photo “news” I think I sold my first print! Don’t want to spoil it yet, but I got a request for a large version of a Jaguar I shot a photo of at the Milwaukee County Zoo.
