Happy Bokeh Wednesday???
Something different, well, at least for me
I picked up a new toy yesterday. I needed some sensor cleaning supplies and went to my local camera store on my lunch break to go get them. I am happy to say that I finally found a camera store in the Santa Cruz area that actually carries the essential supplies as well as having Lee filters and other odds and ends I purchase frequently.
And in today’s economy, where you spend your dollars is more important than ever. If you live near Santa Cruz, check out Monterey Bay Photo Mart on Park Ave. It’s a funky little shop, but they might just have what you need at the same or less than online. Anyway…
As I chatted with the store owner, I let my lust for new lenses and my desire to help support the local economy get the best of me. I picked up Nikon’s new 35mm f1.8 G AF-S DX lens. I’ve always wanted a lens like this, and it was definitely an impulse buy. I really didn’t do any research on it, and in the end, I will just have to see if I enjoy its qualities.
So, I present my cliché bokeh shot with my new toy. And hey, it’s on Wednesday! Ok, I got carried away.
