My new lens arrived on Saturday, a Canon 50mm 1.8 II, nicknamed ‘The Nifty Fifty’ or sometimes ‘The Thrifty Fifty’ because of it’s extremely economical price.  Of course, when you get a new toy, you have to play with it immediately so I tossed it on the camera and started shooting Cooper the Wonder Dachshund.

For those who are wondering, yes, the lens WILL shoot in color! I just hate the color of the carpet, so I changed it to black and white/sepia in the post processing.

Thanks to my friend Chris, I’m trying my hand at some more ammunition pictures.

Pick your poison

I went out to White Knuckle Ranch Motocross Track this morning to shoot the Re-Grand Opening under new management.  I took a bunch of motocross shots and a few that weren’t.  I decided to do the few that weren’t first.

This is Happy, my friend Chris’s dog. He’s managing the White Knuckle Ranch now. Err…Chris, not Happy.
