lenses.

 

 

 

 

 

My rental gear for the wedding arrived in the mail yesterday.  One major point of FAIL: the lens arrived with oily fingerprints ALL over the front and back glass. 

I was not amused. 

AND the speedlight didn’t come with an instruction manual, so I’ve been very much confused with it’s operation thus far.  Thankfully, I found a .pdf manual on the net.  Still, I most likely will not use the flash for the wedding unless I’m completely comfortable with it before then, and with only three days to go, I doubt that’ll happen. 

But, oh, the lens!  The thing is a beast.  It’s a beast and I love it.  I nearly dropped it when I took it out of the box; I wasn’t expecting something so heavy.  It’s my new best friend. 

Or, it’s my new best friend until Friday.  You know, Friday.  When my 50mm f/1.4 gets here.  😀 

I also picked up a few more photography books.  And my clothes for the wedding, from Old Navy.  I still need to find shoes, though, and that’s a problem.  I hate shoe shopping.  I can never find anything that fits, is comfortable and looks good at the same time.  I seriously own three pairs of shoes, and two of them are flip flops. 

Really, I should have so much more to say with as little as I’ve been writing lately, but for the life of me I can’t think of anything.
