In a world of so many great photographers and writers, I am venturing into some unknown territories, leaving comfort zones, finally very willing to practice the art of seeing. By maintaining the practice of posting daily photos, I hope to continue learning about the possibilities that I trust are out there for the taking.
This photo of Ray was taken in our darkish den (while Ray was watching the Masters) with my new Canon 5D Mark ll camera fitted with a new EF85mm f/1.2L ll USM lens. I’m in heaven with how much crisper the photos are and love how Ray’s face pops out from the rest of him and the background.
My hubby is happy I'm home.
Initially I was going to be away until April 16th. Now home early, I’m giddy with the extra week of time. Right now I’m looking at how I want to schedule my time.
Next Thursday I leave for the ADZPCTKO weekend. This is an annual weekend backpacking event held in late April as a send off for the current year thru-hikers that will hike 2,660 miles from Mexico to Canada along the PCT. Since 2003 I bring, to the event at Lake Morena, CA, the free bandanas for the current year PCT hikers. Here is the story of how the ADZPCTKO event started. And here is the page on the official ADZ website talking about how the gifting of PCT bandanas started.
May 6th I drive to Moab, UT to attend the DLWS. They ask that you come fully prepared for their four 18 hour days of learning. I’ll be reviewing ALL the pages and links I was sent to help me be the most prepared I can be before the start of this exciting workshop. I’ll be meeting Laurie Excell, Moose Peterson, Joe McNally – all my heroes.
Off to my calendar now to schedule myself in each day.
I am told that is the fastest telephoto lens in the entire Cannon line of lenses, congrats! Very nice picture of Ray, and he does look happy!
