I Want Some More

First post in almost a year, but that doesn't mean I haven't taken any photos.  First thing that happened is that I sold my Canon 7D and bought a Canon 5D Mark 3.  I've also just been editing my photos and not really been doing anything with them.  I may also go through my backlog of photos I haven't even retouched and do something with them.  It may be laziness (probably, in fact, a chunk of it), but I've also been busy with other things.  (Mostly laziness, though.)

In any case, it's getting warmer, which means I'll probably end up spending more time outside, and so more time photographing random things; indeed, in the past two weeks I've done much more of that than in the past two months.  These six shots are just a small part of the photos I've edited, and an even smaller part of the photos I've taken and want to edit.  I've posted more on my Flickr page, which you can go visit if you want to see other things I've posted that aren't on here.

I'm also still wondering what to do with this blog: whether it should be more instructional, informational, demonstrative or just random ranting.  I'm sure it'll be a bit of everything, as it's been before.  I've used a few cameras I'd like to recount and I'll definitely talk about my newest photographic acquisitions.  I'm also being a videographer for a wedding in a couple of weeks, so that will be interesting to discuss, and definitely a different experience from photographing a wedding.  I'll let you guys know how everything goes.

Here, then, are a few starter pictures.

This is an employee from a fish market in, well, the Market, in Ottawa, on break.  Incidentally, Wang's Noodle House is probably my favourite place in the Market.

I do take some shots in colour, but not this one.  There's a lot of construction going on in downtown Ottawa,  and these are just two guys doing their job.

This little kid seemed pretty excited with the cheese shop, though the parents seem less interested.

This was taken a little while ago, but I still like it.  No comment on the picture itself - you guys can figure out what's going on.

Last one for now:

This is Jen.  This was pretty much the first time I used the Rokinon 85mm f/1.4 in actual practise.  It's a manual-only focus lens, which make focusing really annoying.  Some of the shots were terrific, though, and it's a great lens.  Regardless, this is probably the best shot of the evening, unless you like pet cats.

Another reason I'm deciding to add more to my blog is that I'm paying for my Flickr account, so I may as well make use of it in some way.  No doubt I'll get bored in a few months time again and stop posting again for another little while, but until then, I hope you guys enjoy!
