At Chipotle Last Night


Not the Canon lens. I thought this would make a great painting. Something close to half life size.

Three of Rachel (One with Jesse)




Canon 50mm f1.8
These are an interesting example of the strange effect of a lack of IR filter and strange lighting. Rachel's shirt is bright green. The foliage in the lower background is dark green. Jesse's red shirt is a dark brown. The lighting is bright open blue sky filtered through a heavy layer of translucent green leaves. Go figure.

Subway at Lovejoy & NW 9th



The Lovejoy ramp (post from yesterday) is reflected in the Subway front door. I'd been thinking of trying out a 50 mm lens and last Thursday at Aikido class Alex loaned me his Canon 50 mm f1.8. It's a little funky on my camera. The f stops and distance fall off to the side rather than on top because of the way it screws into the adapter. I don't have the right adapter for it so I've had to wedge the frame line lever into the 50/75 mm position with a piece of tape. I don't have an IR filter that will fit the lens so some of the blacks (mostly on synthetics) may look a little purply. And it has an infinity focus lock. A device for which I haven't been able to find a definitive explanation of its purpose. Still its fun and a slightly narrower view of the world so for the next few days at least the pictures will have been made with a Canon 50 mm f 1.8 rangefinder lens.
