Weapon of Choice

Day 23

 

Yes, this is my highly used, much favored, all-around, weapon of choice. My Canon 24-70mm F2.8 L. I've had this lens for a year now or more, I think. First got my hands on it when one of my friends bought his. From then on, I had no choice but to get me one as well. I just couldn't go back to using the kit lenses that I had at that time. Don't get me wrong, the kit lens are useful and nice when I was starting out. But it got very limited and I don't get the results I want anymore. So I bought one from ebay and that's that. Expensive as hell but I think it was worth it.

 

Anyway, for tonight's image I thought I'd use my striplights (love them!!!). I tried 2, but the result was too commercial. Even tried getting the whole lens with the hood but it was too worn-out so I recomposed and chopped off the top. I wanted a bit of drama so I took one out and settled for one striplight and a bare flash at the background.

 

And just so you know, very minor PS was done in this image which is quite new to me.
