Alhamdulillah! I spent the week playing with the Vivitar 70-210, but didn’t spend much time playing with it: still far too wrapped up in being married: Alhamdulillah! Not much else to say, really. Life is wonderful. D7000. Vivitar 70-210mm f/3.5 (Kiron-made, likely). I took a bunch in macro mode, but all of these were shot …

7/52-36 Eureka! Honeymoon!
I spent most of the last week in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, with my beloved wife (!?!?!?) Farhana Ali, on our honeymoon, enjoying our first week together. I can’t begin to express my wonder, gratitude, amazement, joy, excitement, and so much more at 1) being married; 2) being married to such a fabulous woman; and 3) …
7/52-22 underexposed in late May
Not much to say about this set. I dropped exposure compensation back to -2 to get hand-holdable speeds at 5:45am in the parking lot at work (or maybe it was during the rainstorm and just to keep the D7000 from overexposing, as it’s wont to do with 3rd party lenses), and forgot tot check it …
7/52-21 Focusing Closely on Nature
Well, I planned for this to be Bug Week, and so strapped on the Vivitar 70-210mm, and put it in close-focus mode to facilitate bug-shooting, but it was not to be… too busy just not shooting, I guess. So it became just Close Focus week. I shot some random man-made stuff too—a trashbag blowing across …
7/52-19 Manual Focus Week!
aka “MF Week!” but I didn’t want to be ambiguous about it… So I decided to only use old manual lenses this week. These included the Nikkor 24mm f/2.8 ai, the Nikon 36-72mm f/3.5 E Series, the Nikon 75-150mm Zomb-E Series, and the Vivitar 70-210mm f/3.5 Series 1 (Kiron, maybe). I thought about going crazy …
7/52-17 Cats! (and not cats…)
AKA One of these is not like the other Another week of not-really-focusing-on-shooting, and with very, very good reason that I’ll share sooner or later. I did manage to break off an hour or so on Wednesday, and another 15 minutes yesterday in order to make some pictures, and I’m thankful I got 7 that …
7/52-14 April Showers…
True to myth, April has been fairly rainy thus far, or was for two or three days this week. It’s a blessing here in North Texas, where we’re enduring a lengthy and moderate-to-severe (according to the National Drought Mitigation Center) drought, a curse to commuters, and a delight to my senses: the smell of ozone …
