Halloween

Let's face it, the Sophster was “supa-cute” this year. Don’t you agree? Check out that costume! Mommy picked it, and while Daddy was rolling his eyes at the mall, mommy’s fashion judgement ruled the day. We got non-stop comments about how cute she was during the trick-or-treat downtown, as well as door to door later. I’m sure I’m being totally unbiased on this, and I highly doubt any other kids on the planet were praised for cuteness.

That settled, I need to point out that the photo session that this photo came from prompted a new lens purchase! Our front deck runs the width of the townhouse, and isn’t very deep at all. It’s like an outdoor hallway. So as the crazed flower run to and fro, my 50mm f/1.4 struggled mightily to keep her in focus. While it takes absolutely unbelievable images, I constantly wish I could “step back” and get a wider view. To this end, the new walk-around lens is a Canon 17-85 IS. I’m getting it tomorrow. Will let you know what I find!
