Reid State Park

I decided to spend more time with my new lens over the weekend. I was glad I wasn't rained out. It started sprinkling on the way to Reid State Park, but luckily I had brought my rain cover just in case. It turned out to be a perfect day.

Now I'm ready for Alaska..

I didn't realize how massive this lens was..but yeah. Hopefully I'll get some practice with it this weekend..weather permitting. I don't have the rain proof bag yet, but should be getting that before I head to Alaska.

First picture out with my new lens

Update

Summer gets busy, I haven't been able to update in awhile. I've done mostly event photography lately. Mostly taking pictures of friends bands. I thought I'd share some of what I've been up to.

I'm disappointed with the capabilities of my EF 50mm 1:1.8 II Lens by Canon. Mainly, I miss the zoom function for landscape photography. It's not that it's a bad lens necessarily, it's taken some good pictures, but for what I'm needing it for lately, it just doesn't cut it. Hopefully I'll be able to afford a new lens soon. It'll probably be awhile though since I'm going to Alaska this month. I may just rent a lens for my trip so I don't miss out on any great shots!

Also, I've been matting some of my photography. I'll hopefully be trying to get my work in some local galleries soon.

4th of July in Winslow, ME

My camera came back to me on Monday. I'm happy with Canon's customer service and getting my camera back to me so quickly.

I was able to take some pictures of the parade. I must admit though..it was a really slow and boring parade..I won't be going back. The park had some live bands and food, and that was a bit more entertaining.
