181/365. The Cream Machine ~ Nikon 85mm ƒ/1.4

I've had this lens over a year now... and what's always humored be about it is what it's most infamously nicknamed as — "the cream machine"

Of course, there are many naughty places we could go with this phrase, it's hardly worth it.

The thing is, this lens is awesome. It's no stubby, but it has some pep, and most importantly, I can carry it with me... like a normal lens (eg: not something you have to sling over your shoulder in a separate bag).

In other news, I bought the new iPhone 3Gs today. I was hoping to get some video footage tonight but the line ended up being more several layers of suck than I expected — and ended up getting home late.

So with that in mind, expect to see the return of some strobist video's again :)

If you haven't seen any already, have a good laugh & learn.

And to the final point, this was pretty much near identical to a previous photo.

setup: identical to this setup

strobist info: SB-900 @ 1/4

camera info: Nikon D3 | 24-70mm(ƒ/2.8G)@70mm | ƒ/7.1 | 1/200s

Yes, of course it flies — as if you needed to know.

strobist and camera info: see here.

Seeing is believing

Ever seen something so sexy? Yeah, what you see here is exactly what you think it is. A few of you already know the story, but for those that are curious. Ask me off-thread ;)
