ballgame

So the most I know about baseball is that whenever I go to an Astros game, they loose. Every time.

This was my first time shooting baseball, and it wasn't terrible. Nothing huge, but still pretty fun. The autofocus on my 70-200 was acting up the whole time, so more manual focus fun was had. Always a joy with sports.

oh, technology

Well, the autofocus on my favorite lens died recently. Unfortunately this became apparent right when I had to photograph a bunch of unpredictable dancers in a cramped area with little available light, meaning I had to leave the aperture wide-open and contend with a razor-thin DOF while trying to follow their movements. I re-learned pretty quickly how to kick it old school, though. Became reacquainted with the whole sixth sense that anticipates where the subject will move next and all. No more laziness! I'm learning to like it, even.

But, you know, if anyone so happens to have an extra couple hundred bucks they'd like to lend me to repair it I'd be very grateful. Just throwing that out there.



So far I still haven't done anything I'm totally proud of... still waiting.
