She is better than any of you may realize. This Christmas has been one to remember. For so many reasons.

So frustrated with the focusing. The only time I can get something to focus perfectly is if I am in daylight. I had two desk lamps on this and used a tripod and manually focused and it is STILL fuzzy. I'm tired and it's late, so I won't try again tonight.
Today I was reminded of what it means to uphold anonymity. I saw many people from my past. Walking with someone important to me now and who will be in the future. It was shocking and jolting and brought me into reality.
Today we waved at a stranger creepily and he waved back.
Today, I got a taste of the future.
Right now one of my dogs is standing on Amanda and soaking up all the attention she can get. We are listening to a Christmas CD that my brother made me. So far it has been all Christian music and that makes me smile for so many reasons. Fills me up in so many ways. The quiet and the music and the week is running through the air. And I wouldn't want it any other way.

My wife was blowing bubbles outside with the kids yesterday. I went out to see how they were doing, then decided to go in and grab the camera. I took 20-30 pictures, most of which seemed incredibly ordinary.
This one - with me below the bubble, looking up and away into the trees, was magical. You can see me, the garage, cars, my wife, and other stuff in the bubble if you look :)
Of course this is in HDR, so it looks much better than the standard photo. I am also very happy to get such a good shot with my new lens, the Nikkor 50mm f/1.4G.
Raw converted to three 16-bit TIFFs in Nikon Capture NX 2 (compared to the single raw loaded into Photomatix - this is much much better). HDR in Photomatix Pro. Edited in Photoshop.
Taken in shutter priority mode, spot metering.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot to mention that this is manual focus.
D200, ISO 100, f/2.8, 1/500 second, Nikkor 50mm f/1.4G.
I have no information relating to the artist.
Today I experimented with a Sigma 180mm lens mounted on a Sony A7RM2 body using a Metabones adaptor.
This combination does not work in Auto-Focus mode so I had to use manual focusing and this was not easy and it certainly would have been impossible without focus peaking [a feature that I have never properly employed before]. In case you are unaware focus peaking is a tool to assist you while manual focusing. It highlights the areas that are in focus so you are able to quickly focus the camera and not miss crucial shots. However, focus peaking is not as easy as it sounds because it shows you what's sharp on the viewfinder screen, not what's sharp in the actual image. Since the screen or viewfinder has a much lower resolution than the actual camera sensor areas that are highlighted as being sharp in the viewfinder can be very much out of focus in the image you actually capture.
