AIFF – Ashland Independent Film Festival
The last couple days have been pretty crazy photo wise. I probably have about 1,000 keepers from about ten different events (including not only the AIFF events but also Nic Temple’s piano recital, SOU softball doubleheader, some wild weather panoramas, and Father Doug at Club 66). Now I just need to sort through them all…
I had a delicious lunch at Club 66 yesterday featuring this ham and pepperoncini sandwich.
Tuesday night (4/9/13), metal will once again be featured at Club 66. Facinorous, a deliciously evil metal band from California, will be hitting the Club 66 stage.
Ashland Little League softball
…girls of spring?
SOU campus between storms
The return of students to campus after spring break doesn’t have quite the mystique of the start of the school year in fall, but the campus today still has a bit more excitement in the air than normal.
Grizzly Peak photomerge
Grizzly Peak has been a frequent subject on this blog. I have taken photos from this spot on numerous occasions, but this is the first time that I photomerged nearly 180 degrees of scenery from this location including a bit of East Main Street. I stood so that both sets of power lines would run straight from my position once photomerged even though they actually are perpendicular to each other.
Another one from Ashland today with my wide angle, manual, prime lens.
This one is a bit out of focus as I set the focus for just under infinity when I should have just turned it to infinity. With my AF lenses, just under infinity seems to work best for manual focusing, but with this lens, going to infinity for anything more than about 8-10 feet away yields best results.
SOU softball field with Grizzly Peak in the background
Major League Baseball begins regular season play in just over a week. Today’s photo is the view between games of a softball doubleheader last weekend in Ashland. The Lady Raiders won both games.
Normally I’d need to take three or four photos and photomerge them together for a shot like this. However, I used my new (to me, it’s a used lens actually) Nikon 20mm f/2.8 prime lens and was able to capture foul pole to foul pole in a single image. I love this lens for its optics, size, and weight, but I only purchased it because it was part of a package deal with a 50mm f/1.2 lens. I also have a 24mm f/2.8 (and a 14-24mm f/2.8) so I don’t really need both (or all three). Therefore, if you are interested in the 20mm f/2.8 manual focus lens, make me an offer I can’t refuse, and it will be yours. Oh yeah, and if you shoot with a Canon, it also came with a Fotodiox Lens Mount Adapter which allows you to use this, or any, Nikon lens on a Canon DSLR. I’ll toss this in at no extra charge.
