My Christmas Present to Myself - New Camera Gear!!!

Happy New Year Everyone!
The lead up to Christmas was crazy for me and I am finally getting a few days to myself. For Christmas I bought myself a new Camera - Canon EOS 1D plus two new lenses. I have previously used a Nikon D2X but decided to change to Canon for the lenses specifically the 85mm Prime Lens f1.2 - I feel in love with when I worked for a fellow photographer and friend Calli Bunett (Calli-B Photography). So I made the change. I spent a day shooting at f1.2 which creates the shallowest depth of field (the bit in focus) I have worked with and I have to say I am in love. Once my family (Rena & My Niece Teyha) got sick of me shoving it their face I attacked the garden. Below are the results....



My little Angel Rena...Could she be more beautiful? She is all that is good in me.









When shooting people I aim for crisp eyes and at f1.2 that is basically all the remains in focus. I just love the softness it creates in an image and that the focus is solely on those lovely eyes.
