I really didn't want to get wet.


Well, I got up nice and early Saturday morning to take some moving water and foliage pictures at Oliver Mills Park in Middleboro planning to stay on dry ground. I got some nice shots but nothing that really inspired me. SO I decided to get off the beaten path and walk off the bridge, through the grass along a stream and I see a tunnel. I look into the tunnel and see a glimmer of light and a stream of water trickling down the tunnel wall. Now I am standing knee deep in freezing cold water in my jeans and sneakers setting up my tripod with my 70-200 and here is the result. This shot was at 200mm f22 15second exposure at ISO 100. I think it was worth it

My favorite Portrait Lens


Right now my favorite Portrait lens is my Sigma 70-200 2.8 Using such a long lens and fast aperture can nicely blur your background and make the picture pop. It doesn't hurt to have such a cute model either.
