I chose to share this photo purely for the double shadow, which I really like. This laptop is an essential part of producing the photographs you see on this site, working away behind the scenes for little glory and recognition. I feel it deserves its 5 minutes in the limelight!

So I’ve finally bought a DSLR, and I love it! The change in raw picture quality alone has really surprised me. I can’t wait to become better acquainted with my new friend, and find out what he can do… Along with the standard issue Canon 18-55 IS kit lens bundled with the camera I picked up a Canon 50mm f/1.8 II prime. I’m so glad I got this little bargain for it’s lovely wide aperture, allowing me to play with shallow depth of field shots such as today’s, much more easily than before.
