Still cannot get over it

The enormous 24″ iMac screen beams a series of studio photographs of my son at me, each seemingly more thrilling than its predecessor. The show, as I flick through the images and cull the losers is, well, nothing short of enthralling.

“There he goes again, babbling on about full frame digital” you mutter. And rightly so.

But when I tell you that I continue to be simply blown away by the combination of the Canon 5D, 85mm f/1.8 Canon EF lens and my three head Novatron studio outfit, as I view the results on that huge screen, it’s not like I’m talking the latest and greatest in gear. But it’s still better than I am.

And where there are errors it’s usually in the area of critical focus not because the 5D isn’t always spot on (it is) but because yours truly swayed a bit before pressing the button. Age not booze, I assure you. And boy, is depth of field limited at these distances or what?

And this, dear reader, is what I have to deal with:

Life is short. Live it well.
