The life and times of a true knucklehead – No photos to be used without permission
The Canon EOS M was a long time in coming. I have such a problem with the weight of my big cameras. It’s been back ordered since July & I’ve been chomping at the bit for this one. I’m hoping that I can use this as a mini portrait machine. It’ll take all my Canon lenses (with an EF lens adapter) and can control all of my speedlites both optically and and radio waves. Meanwhile I’ve been testing it for the past few days. I do like the shallow depth of field I can achieve on this.
Yesterday we were invited to Daniel & Alicia’s Birthday at John’s Incredible Pizza in Roseville. It was a sensory overload. I can understand why all the kids were so excited.
Later we went to Lincoln Estates Park for some portraits.
I learned a lot as I usually do on every one of these shoots. I have an appointment for a vasectomy next week, just joking! I had to keep lowering my shutter speed to bring the background in but the motion blur was killing me. Tripod next time!
Our schedules were not in sync for Halloween so I asked the Yuens to bring Noah out tonight to the local beach. I figured that would be the perfect place to capture a photo of the famed Alameda Baby Teal Octopus. In keeping up with the sea theme they bought me dinner at Angel Fish, thanks guys.
iPad mini arrived today. This is mainly for Sandy to read her books as her phone is too small, but I plan on using it as a photo viewer on my photoshoots as my LCD screen on the back of my camera is too small. It will hook up via my EyeFi card on my mark III so I can get my photos as close to real time as possible. Why don’t I do this with my iPad 3? I’m outta storage space that’s why! Shoulda bought the 64gb, doh!
I saw this a while back, so this time I made sure I was on the right side of the road and stopped to shoot a photo. I’d like to know the history of this tree. Just found out that this is the 2nd tree. Some vandals it cut down the original, sad.
Today we went out with a few of our neighbors to Santa Ramen for lunch. I’m so predictable… stewed pork belly.
Been trying to shoot Humphrey for quite a while now. He’s proved to be very elusive…
Tjader bought us a nice sushi lunch. (He tried to use a Discover card, no one takes that anymore.) So I thought I’d repay him by shooting some portraits.
2nd best thing about eating out Filipino is having leftovers for breakfast. This morning Pork Sisig Silog. Well technically I used steamed not fried rice, but you get the idea.
Picked up Tita Nene last night and noticed SFO was adorned in Giants orange. While I don’t follow any sports, the orange glow was quite cool. I’ll try to shoot Coit tower as it is lit up, too.
