…curious about the set up of shoe boxes………

This tower of shoe boxes was a set up for a photograph.  Everytime I put a set up together, Boucle is hovering and sniffing to see what it is all about.  I am sure he wishes that there were treats and cookies hidden inside:)

…sweetie-pie – just enjoying the simple life at lunch hour……

Last night I dreamt about lenses all night long!:)

So I did it.  Went out this morning to acquire a 35mm lens.  At the counter asked how much I would get as a trade in for one of my DX lenses that I never use any more.  Quite a sum, so decided to drive all the way back to my place, picked up the lens and then all the way back to Henry’s.  Basically the morning and early afternoon.  But it was so worth it!  I went shopping for a new lens, and didn’t spend a cent on it!  And I love it.  This is a shot of sweetie-pie at lunch. Taken at F3.5, ISO 400, taken in the shade at 1PM, no adjustment in photoshop to exposure or curves. Just a bit of warming up of the colors.  This lens has a very short focusing distance, so I can get really close to sweetie-pie if I want to, using the autofocus.  Though I often manual focus my shots.  Anyhow, I am very pleased with the lens, good images and value, and very affordable.
