Having had the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II, aka Nifty Fifty, for more than 2,5 years, I’ve had some mixed feelings for it. It’s dirt cheap, and real performer for the price. The aperture 1.8 is usually more than enough and it can give you some crazy sharp photos @ 2.8 and above. But, it’s all plastic (everything but the optics) and it feels like a toy. Manual focus is a joke on it, and the AF is both noisy and slow... at least it hunts a lot in darker places (where you usually want to use it for it light gathering capabilities). When I upgraded to FF I knew this lens had to be upgraded at some point.
So meet the new lens, the Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM. It’s not a very expensive lens, but about three times the price of the 1.8 version. It’s also close to three times as heavy, but still a lightweight lens at about 290g. Better build quality, faster, more accurate and quieter AF, nicer bokeh and 2/3 f-stop faster. I’m sure I’ll be happy with it for a long time.
Strobist information:
Two Canon Speedlite 430EX used in a Lastolite Ezybox Hotshoe (60cm) soft box each. One camera right and a little bit higher as fill, and the other camera left. I was moving around the camera right soft box until I had the right light in the lenses. Everything triggered by Elinchrom Skyports.
The goldcrest is a very small passerine bird in the kinglet family. Its colourful golden crest feathers gives rise to its English and scientific names, and possibly to it being called the "king of the birds" in European folklore

It is a small deciduous tree growing to 10–15 m tall with a trunk up to 40 cm in diameter, though usually smaller and often with multiple trunks, and a spreading crown of long, arching branches. The bark is smooth, olive-green with regular narrow pale vertical stripes on young trees, eventually becoming dull grey-brown at the base of old trees. The leaves are 6–18 cm long and 4–9 cm broad, with a petiole 3–6 cm long; they are dark green above, paler below, ovate, unlobed or weakly three-lobed, with a serrated margin. They turn to bright yellow, orange or red in the autumn. The flowers are small, yellow, with five sepals and petals about 4 mm long; they are produced on arching to pendulous 7–12 cm racemes in late spring, with male and female flowers on different racemes. The samara nutlets are 7–10 mm long and 4–6 mm broad, with a wing 2–3 cm long and 5 mm broad.

I'm going with the concensus and naming this Goldfields, possibly Lasthenia sp.

It’s been raining all day, and though I might be waterproof, my 350D isn’t. So I take that as a perfectly good reason to take some gear shots – of course strobist style.
I received my third Elinchrom Skyport receiver this week, so I thought this would make a perfect opportunity for some three lights strobist practice. To make it a bit harder, I decided on shooting black on black.
Task at hand: Maky my wussy 350D look less wussy by lighting it the right way.
Edit: Now I shoot with a little bit less wussy camera... my Canon EOS 5D, in this photograph lit similarly to this shot.
Strobist info:
Three speedlites were used. Two bare 430EXs were used as rim light / kickers. The two 430EXs were placed on both sides of the camera and slightly behind the model camera. A 540EZ was placed in a large soft box above camera. The soft box was aimed slightly downwards. The black side of a 5-in-1 reflector was placed behind the camera as a black background. All flashes were triggered by Elinchrom Skyports. Metering was done with a Sekonic L-358.

Cara maestra,
un giorno m'insegnavi
che a questo mondo noi
noi siamo tutti uguali.
Ma quando entrava in classe il direttore
tu ci facevi alzare tutti in piedi,
e quando entrava in classe il bidello
ci permettevi di restar seduti.

Hace tiempo pude ver una foto de Thomas Edison portando una bombilla ; en mi opinión; muy curiosa. Poco después la encontré y decidí adquirirla para poder retratarla.
La iluminación es bastante sencilla, simétrica con dos flashes y dos hojas de papel. El fondo está realizado con una bengala. La foto está realizada con la compañía y ayuda de David Medina (-D.M.L.-).
Espero que os guste;
Saludos y Feliz Año a todos.

Il tempo scorre in una parola
su un pentagramma vive un'emozione
la porta è chiusa senza una ragione
...colori che muoiono...
Come in un vecchio film in bianco e nero
sono fotografie, solo fotografie
sfregiate dal tempo
...colori che muoiono,
colori che esplodono...

I drove out to Dos Cabeza Spring for lunch and was awarded with a giant Desert Willow tree in full bloom. It was covered in White-lined Sphinx Moths, darting here and there, feeding on the flowers. I didn't come prepared for this (photographically). The longest lens I had was my 100mm macro.
After chasing the moths around a bit - they are wary of movement and fly off - I gave up and just stood still, hoping they'd fly back to my side of the tree. A few did, and I was able to capture this image. Not the best, I know, but it's the best I got. Those little suckers are fast!
