less than wonderful.

working with a new lens.

a rental.

28-135mm f/3.5-5.6.

i don't like it.

i'm doing something wrong.

i can tell.

i don't know if it's cause the f/stop isn't as low

as what i'm use to.

the shutter is really slow and i've adjusted everything.

ergh.

i don't think i want to use it...

which upsets me tremendously since i have a shoot

at 2 pm today.

deep breath.

my "model" was playing outside last night,

so i tried some shots on him.

he's so good with the camera now.

he always smiles when i bring it out.

the girl,

not so much.

it's like pulling teeth.

out of 10 shots,

there were only a couple that i would have confidently had blown up

and mounted on the wall.

the others just weren't as crisp.

i'm going to just have to work with my 50mm tomorrow

and deal with it.

deep breath.

glad i wasted money on a rental.

oh, and the wound by his nose was from pop.

aiden was pushing his truck on the floor upstairs,

pop stuck his foot out as a road block,

aiden crashed into it,

and flew over pop's foot,

face first into the carpet.

cried forever.

suck it up, boy.

tis but a flesh wound.

not even close to matching his scar on his forehead.
