007 Weekend

This weekend I hung out with a bromantic an awesome friend I haven't seen in quite a while and he let me borrow his 50mm f/1.8 lens in exchange for a donut I never let him pull off in my car. I don't really have themes for this year picked out and solidified yet, but I'm thinking this week will be a depth of field week seeing as how I have my hands on such a fast lens. It'll definitely be different, as this older lens doesn't meter light and is 100% manual focus so I have a lot to learn.

Enjoy this weekend's shots, and look forward to some blurry and out of focus shots this week.

Day - 007



This shot was pretty fun, though I'm a little upset I used LightRoom the way I did for the black circle. I used a toilet paper roll on the lens, but since I'm so tall, tilting the camera up pushed more light down the tube making it brown and not black on the inside. LR fixed it up, but I can't help but feel I cheated a little. Oh well, it's the thought that counts I guess?

Day - 008



I feel lucky to have gotten this shot. I went out the next morning and the sidewalk plow had already gone through and these prints were lost forever.

Day - 009



Just playing around this morning at breakfast with aperture.
