If you find yourself needing a light boom but you don't have one, here's a quick alternative. One light (Manfrotto 3330) held up by a Manfrotto 3336 using a Bogen Super Clamp. It provides the perfect length for a counterweight--in this case, I found one 3-pound ankle weight to be ideal.
This image illustrates the incredibly thin depth of field. I tried to focus on the right eye (camera left). The rest of the face quickly gets completely out of focus, and the back half of the body disappears almost completely in the blur.
The chromatic aberration is also quite bad, especially away from the center of the project image. It's actually quite striking to see when you just look through the lens and have your eye move from the center towards the periphery. This image illustrates it fairly well at the edge of the dog.
This lens is a Canon XI 90mm f/1.0 lens I found being discarded. Of course the allure of the f/1.0 kept me from letting it disappear in the trash, but maybe that's where it truly belongs. It has no aperture control, so you can only shoot wide open. It also has no focus control, so the plane of focus never changes, and is always about 1 foot from the lens and is roughly 5mm wide, so not true macro, but only useful for shooting macro-like images. Also, it didn't have any way to properly mount to an EF body, so I had to make my own mount. Also, it's filthy inside the glass. It is incredibly sharp (I can tell by looking through it, and it would make a most excellent loupe if I had a need for such a thing. The depth of field, as you might imagine, is razor thin, which can be cool but also severly limits the utility of this lens. On the plus side, though, it makes a wonderful and cool paperweight and lets me tell people that I have an f/1.0 lens.

So, when I turned round from charting her journey so far, I saw she'd jumped into the bucket of water; I just caught her climbing out.
She keeps doing something interesting with her tail, making me wonder whether it's supposed to make them follow it like a target or something.. Who knows?
(Probably David Attenborough actually ;o)
After the fit test, the next step is to solder everything up, so I thought I’d take a quick shot of the PCB shining through the plate/case. A really beautiful and clean design.
Must be some big cut-backs in the city's maintenance department to have to use duct tape to fix the concrete telephone light pole.
Quick stopover for a soymilk-cappucino and sketchbook entry while waiting for the next bus.

Another unexpected purchase for my collection but I am loving it! I was watching a French documentary about Napoleon the other day and coincidently this DID figure was just starting to appear on the Net at the same time so I got one right away. I love his Gyoza shaped taller than usual Bicorne! Wonder if this will also be auctioned for $2.4 Million if I keep it long enough!
Another busy, busy day so I'm just going to have a quick snack!
