Bitter

I'm itching to try out this 24-70mm f2.8 USM lens that I just got, but either I've been working, it's been too dark, or it's been raining. I'm scared to bring it outside. Here's a -little- cropped piece of a picture of my friend Evan with my 1.8 prime. Hooray for 21 megapixels :)

Japanese Custom Bokeh

I built a custom shutter filter yesterday to create my own bokeh shape. It was my first attempt, so I didn't take into account that the lens I was shooting with was a f2.8 and the filter I made was a little larger than that. This caused the custom bokeh shape to have half-circles depending on the position of the shapes on the picture. Sooo... gotta make smaller openings in the future. Anywho, here is how it went down:

Devon Headshots

Testing Video Embed

My very first attempt at editing video from my camera. I guess it's supposed to be a parody of those YouTube videos of the spray painting street artists. Towards the end of the video before the credits, you can see a freeze in the video. Apparently taking a still picture with the 5D Mark II -during- filming will freeze the filming. That's good to know. Titles etc all done with Windows Movie Maker.
