Playing With Lenses

Alicia and Dan's wedding is today! This should be a lot of fun as my daughter and son-in-law are in the wedding party and my wife and other daughter are attending. I'm not sure whether it will affect me or not - probably not as they are used to me shooting pictures of them all the time anyway!

So, we rented Nikon's newest lens, a 24-70mm f2.8, for this wedding and next weekends wedding. I was dying to try it out and put it through it's paces! It is a $1700 lens so it's better to try rather than buy before you are ready! What a sweet lens! It doesn't have the gross distortion that some of the other wide angle lenses give you, which was always my hit against wide angle. Scott C loves that look so he never minded it! Now I can shoot wide, too!

I also acquired the 85mm f1.4 (the one Scott C had already purchased) and I love that even more! Can't wait to get to the church!

Here's a few images from last nights swim practice - where else would I be on a Friday night! Enjoy!
