Went to the local food festival two weeks ago. Most of the photos I took didn’t come out as sharp as I wanted because of insufficient light. For others I had the lens jacked open so far that I couldn’t get everything in focus. Very artsy, but not very attractive if you can’t tell what’s being photographed. Anyway, I figured it’s been awhile since I posted any photos, so here you go.

It’s hard to explain, but these toy lightsabers kept changing colors. I have three photographs taken less than a second apart, and the colors are different in each one.

These Norwegian dancers strutted their stuff for awhile before I had to leave. Yes, their outfits were THAT red.
Those are great pictures! I don’t know which one I like best, because they are both worthy of publication somewhere.
Can ya spring for a used 5D? Full frame sensors do amazing things in low light ;-)
Swap out your 85 f/1.8 for the 85 f/1.2! hehe
Heh, it actually wouldn’t have been any better with a 1.2 because my depth of field was already way too narrow on some of my shots. The 85 f/1.8 is fantastic as it is. There are other lenses I want to get before upgrading any of my existing kit.
I did pick up a 60mm macro the other day and I’m having lots of fun with that. I’ll have some pictures up in a day or two, but I have others in the queue that need to be posted first.
