Pentax 35mm is One of the Traditional Pentax Lenses

January 31st, 2012

MF Zoom-Nikkor 35-70mm lenses - Part I with link to Autofocus 35-70mm ...Pentax 35mm is one of the traditional Pentax lenses which are produced with a small and beautiful look. It also comes with the unique digital only standard. This lens is 15mm in thickness and this is why it is nicknamed pancakes since it is quite flat for a lens. When this lens is mounted on the Pentax DSLR camera it produces a picture of perfection as it has a focal length of about 60mm. This lens is good for taking portraiture and landscape shots because of its telephoto capabilities.

This lens is easy to operate without being a professional photographer. The lens was produced to be used by both professionals and amateurs. This lens was made with the aim to help amateurs who don’t have a background on photography to still come up with a good picture which is as beautiful as possible. If you are haunting for a good lens, you just found yourself one.

Hooked Ever Since My First Tokina Lens

December 30th, 2011

An image of Nikon's new interchangeable lens camera, the Nikon 1 J1 ...I remember back when I bought my first Tokina lens there was still a lot of uncertainty about using third party products. I was still a college student so money was obviously very tight otherwise, I would also have gone with a Nikkor or Canon, which were the more established brands. I am glad that I did try out the Tokina however as the quality was superb. Since then it has become my brand of choice, simply because I found their quality and prices to be top-notch. While I do not have that many lenses in my kit, I use all of them quite a lot and the over the years I have had very few hassles with the Tokina ones. It could just be that because I never really used Canon or Nikkor lenses apart from the kit lens that came with my camera body, that I find the difference in quality is imperceptible.

My Tall Friend

December 9th, 2011

One of my friends is extremely tall, he is almost seven feet tall. The other day we decided to get some lunch and stop by the mall to grab some new clothes after. When we arrived at the cafe where we were having lunch everyone started to stare at him. He said he doesn’t get embarrassed or anything when everyone starts looking at him, but I think it bothers him a little bit. If he is talking to someone and other people start looking at him he kind of starts to get a little quiet. Almost as if he is acting shy, I guess. I feel a little bad for him because he is a good friend and is a really nice person. He just looks really huge at almost seven feet and he weighs almost 300 pounds because he lifts weights. The best thing is that he can look down girls tops when he is talking to them and he says he just focuses on their name tag if they are wearing one so it doesn’t look too obvious.

Looking into a New Line of Work

December 6th, 2011

I am thinking of starting up a photography business once we get moved to Boston. I plan to talk with a few boston wedding photographers about the market there and to see how much I should be charging. Pricing can be very different depending on where you live. I hope to be able to do my photography full-time as soon as possible. I miss working with my camera and capturing memories for people. I took some time off after my baby was born and have not returned to it. I feel as though I am missing something in my life when I am not out taking pictures. My friends and family are really encouraging me to get back to my passion. I would also like to upgrade my camera and I can only do that I am able to get some work in. Starting this new business will be a good thing.
